Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU), Anyigba, has been thrown into celebration following a spectacular academic feat achieved by one of its stellar products, Miss John Progress Chubiyojo, who bagged a coveted First Class in the just-released Bar Final Examinations of the Nigerian Law School.
Miss Chubiyojo, who is no stranger to academic laurels, was the 3rd Best Graduating Student of the PAAU Faculty of Law during the 2023/2024 academic session.
After conquering her Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) degree in Anyigba, she proceeded to the ultra-competitive Lagos Campus of the Nigerian Law School, where she distinctively stamped PAAU’s name on the national map with a flawless First Class finish.
By this feat, the brilliant jurist is now fully cleared and set to be formally inducted into the legal profession. She will be called to the Nigerian Bar on Friday, July 10, 2026, at the prestigious Body of Benchers Complex, Abuja.
Reacting to the breaking news, the Vice-Chancellor of PAAU, Professor Salisu Ogbo Usman, described the achievement as a deeply proud moment for the entire university community.
He noted that the feat is a direct reflection of the rigorous academic standard and the culture of excellence being aggressively pushed by the institution.
Pouring encomiums on the latest First Class lawyer, Prof. Usman praised Miss Chubiyojo for her resilience, unyielding discipline, and laser focus, stating that she has proven to the world that PAAU graduates can hold their own anywhere.
“This exceptional accomplishment is a product of raw hard work, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of greatness. Miss Chubiyojo has made us proud, and she is a shining example to all students currently on campus,” the VC remarked.
The Vice-Chancellor did not hide his admiration for the faculty behind the success, specially commending the Dean, Heads of Departments, and the entire lecturing staff of the Faculty of Law for their tireless dedication to nurturing legal minds.
He charged them to sustain the high tempo and keep churning out top-tier professionals.
Prof. Usman reaffirmed that the university management remains unshaken in its commitment to creating a world-class enabling environment.
He promised that PAAU would continue to invest heavily in state-of-the-art infrastructure and staff development to ensure students realize their highest professional aspirations.
He concluded by stating that the university would continue to celebrate outstanding students and alumni who fly the institution’s flag high, as their victories continue to cement PAAU’s growing reputation as a premier destination for academic excellence in Nigeria.
