Bukola Saraki says the new graduates of the Nigeria Law School should use their degrees for the good of the country.
The former senate president spoke on Friday night when he hosted hundreds of law school graduates in Abuja.
The event was organised by the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation.
“It was a pleasure to spend time with these bright and driven young minds and to witness firsthand the passion that they bring to the legal profession,” he said.

“I cannot tell you how to prepare for your court cases, those who are capable of doing that, have done that.
“Though from my experience, having been to CCT, federal high court, court of appeal, and supreme court, I think I can give you some advice on processes. I have learned by experience of how the legal profession works, but that is for another day.”
Kamaldeen Ajibade, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), said the law school graduates should remain disciplined, diligent, and grounded in the ethics of the profession as those are ways they could excel in the field of law.

On his part, Audu Idowu Musa, executive director of the foundation, said the organisation is focused on touching the lives of the vulnerable and that it has over the years prioritized health, education, youth empowerment, sports, and leadership mentorship.
The foundation awarded nine Kwara first class graduates with the sum of N500,000.
