A summary of the 2015/2016 College of Law Freshmen Orientation Programme

The Orientation programme designed by the Law Students’ Society (LSS) for the freshmen of the College of Law this year lasted for two days. It consisted activities in the morning, afternoon and evening.

These events were specifically designed to expose our newbies to everything that it is to be a law student. On both days there were trips to the field in the mornings so the freshmen could get comfortable with the idea that the field was there for their use and not just for aesthetics.

On day one, the students had a talk regarding the basics of being a law student, conduct in the college, dress code, Examinations and so on. This was handled by Barr. Fabamise, Barr Ikpeze, Barr Olubiyi and Barr Olaniyan. The students also got to meet other lecturers in the college as well as the college officer.

Afterwards the students were exposed to the concept of chambers within the college and were asked to register for any chambers of their choosing to facilitate the moot and mock activities within the college.

In the afternoon, the students had a tour of the school which was led by Barr Fabamise.

On day two, the students had a sex and health talk. This was conducted by Barr. Olagbegi-Oloba and Barr Clark for the girls and by Barr Valentine Faseemo and Barr Hilary Okegbuale for the guys. Afterwards, there was a symposium centred on Federal Government Ministerial Appointments and the importance of Federal Character therein. The students were active and responded to the question put to them intelligently.
In the evening, there was a film shown for them, 

Tomorrowland, which was for no charge. All in all, the orientation could be considered a success.

Declaration of Assets by Our Vice-president Joshua Daranijo

An enigmatic example of leadership
As we have seen in recent times, an overwhelming wave of CHANGE is upon our nation as the new leadership tasked with the herculean task of cleaning the Augean stable left by the previous government has proven to be a light of hope for the downhearted. I have no personal interest in blowing anyone’s trumpet but I write with uttermost appreciation for at least one thing PMB has done and that is the declaration of assets by him and his vice. No matters how inaccurate the figures may be, it sends a message of an attempt to establish an ideal state of leadership where accountability and transparency are the norm of the day. I believe that it will become a trend as time passes for public officers to declare their assets because if Oga can do it, so can/must I.

No matter how far from the truth such figures may come to be, it will be detrimental to the one who declares deceitfully. With reference to the biblical allusion of Ananias and Sapphira, such a fellow should either declare true figures or not declare at all because one way or another, God go catch you!
With all these been said, it is with utmost pride I would also like to follow suit to declare my asset as your Vice President of this prestigious society. I made a promise to be at your service and I believe accountability and transparency must be the cornerstone to make this possible.

DECLARATION OF ASSEST OF DARANIJO OLAJIDE JOSHUA

Three buckets and one bowl
2 towels
One mat
One pack of Lucky point pens
3 LSS jotters
One there piece suit
One Samsung phone
One HP laptop
One box of clothing
One Nikon Camera
One HP printer
Two KJV Bibles
One 16gb flashdrive
One nice wristwatch
One chinko “samsung” tablet
Shared interest in my Mum’s car
Two Wema Accounts with a few thousands
One bedroom in my father's house

I know right, don’t worry God is continuously providing! I pray by the end of my tenure, I would have doubled my assets but this is with no premeditated intention to loot LSS money. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!
Yours truly,
Joshua,
Vice President of Law Students Society;

AT YOUR SERVICE!

P.S: Abeg all of the above na joke and cannot be proven in any court of law or quasi-judicial council. God bless yáll! See you in school
