The Commissioner who was visibly excited, expressed his commitment to the interest of LAWSAN, encouraging the Students to be hardworking, as it is a stepping stone to actual practice and this, according to him will help boost their profession.
“We all know that the Law profession is a very dignifying one, and a noble one which comes with high expectations. This Moot exercise is one of such clear guide and a strong stepping stone to actual practice”, Archibong said.
“It’s not a profession you come out as a graduate and manage your way through; you have to practice it and clearly demonstrate your skills and the knowledge derived through school. Activities such as this will help sharpen the role expected of you from the larger society and in the future”, the Chieftaincy boss said.
Archibong who was represented by his aide, Mr Tommy Enodien, further charged them to be committed to their academic goals as no knowledge is lost, saying that every knowledge is necessary and will be applicable somewhere in the future.
