Why Crescent University Law is Top-notch

By Idris Katib

The Bola Ajibola College of Law (BACOLAW), Crescent University, Abeokuta is arguably in the top ten faculties of law in Nigeria given its sterling national and international records over the years. Both the undergraduates and alumni of the prestigious College have always demonstrated the academic and ethical excellence the university stands for.

Only recently, the BACOLAW quota for the Nigerian Law School was increased to 120 after a critical review from an accreditation visit by the Council of Legal Education (CLE). The visitation team led by the Director-General of the Nigerian Law School, Dr Olugbemisola Titilayo Odusote commended all facilities met on ground while also making recommendations for further growth. In addition to this, BACOLAW has a full accreditation status with the National Universities Commission (NUC).

Remarkably, graduates of BACOLAW have made First Class grades from the Nigerian Law School. This achievement likened to the Olympics where star athletes from different countries meet to determine superstars among them. So, Crescent University has produced super lawyers in this context and this is a pointer to the quality of academic and professional training the institution provides.

BACOLAW has also distinguished itself with sterling performances in prestigious national essay competitions in law and allied areas. In 2024, a Crescent University law student, Mujeebat Idris, emerged winner of the Parliamentary System Support Group (PSSG) National Essay Competition ahead of finalists from University of Calabar and University of Ilorin. This feat was replicated by another landmark victory in the Alao Adavise National Essay Competition on Privacy and Data Protection in 2025, which is a further testament to the institution's capacity and capability in contemporary legal scholarship.

Beyond the quality control, top quality academics and essay contest feats, Crescent University BACOLAW also recorded top performance at the prestigious 31st Vis-Moot Court Arbitration Competition in Paris, France 2025, one of the world's most revered platforms for legal advocacy and arbitration.

This achievement reinforces the proficiency of Crescent University law students to stand shoulder to shoulder with their counterparts from top-tier universities around the world.

The College further reinforced its reputation through an outstanding showing at the 2025 International Bar Association (IBA) Moot Court Competition at The Hague, Netherlands. Participation and success in such high-profile events provide students with priceless practical experience, sharpen their advocacy skills, and expose them to international best practices in legal profession.

In addition to its academic and competitive successes, BACOLAW has produced hundreds of chartered arbitrators by the Nigerian Institute of Chartered Arbitrators (NICARB).Year in, year out, many BACOLAW students benefit from professional training in alternative dispute resolution by NICArb becoming certified before graduation.

For students seeking world-class legal education grounded in excellence, integrity, and global relevance, Crescent University, Abeokuta, offers the perfect platform to launch a successful legal career.

Why Crescent University Mass Communication Leads

By Idris Katib

Every parent or prospective student has a reason for choosing a course of study and institution offering the programme. One of such reasons is performance of products, after graduation, in postgraduate studies, employment and entrepreneurship. Crescent University Mass Comm satisfies these three variables.

The slogan "our first class is world class" came about when an alumna, Dr Rafiat Gawat Raji, a first class product of Crescent Mass Comm went to Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, to replicate the feat at her Master's programme.Soon after that, other alumni from other departments of Crescent University followed suit in their further studies in Europe, American and Asian universities. This is a topic for another day.

It is gratifying that numerous Crescent University Mass Comm products have since occupied top positions in the industry. The current national Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Customs Service, Aliyu Maiwada, Head of Corporate Communications of Keystone Bank, Rasheed Bolarinwa, Owners of Platform Times, Platform Africa, NewsHub, The Business Package and several others are all products of Crescent University Mass Communication.

This department has also proudly produced two distinguished editorial staffers for the British Broadcasting Corporation(BBC). Adedeji Ajayi and Abayomi Adisa were Deployments Editor and Senior Journalists, making their Alma Matter, Crescent University proud.

Unlike many Departments of Mass Communication in Nigeria which lay more emphasis on media theories and even set their examination questions as objectives, Crescent University Mass Communication
majorly bases its training on practical, hands on tutoring of students. This is evident as lecturers blend their teaching with industry experience. It also reflects in the manner with which examination questions are set-an industry related approach.

Remarkably, Crescent University Department of Mass Communication recorded arguably one of the highest National Universities Commission's accreditation scores three consecutive times, scoring 90% in 2012, 93.5% in 2018 and 92% in 2023. No department of mass communication in any Nigerian university, arguably, has this hat trick of 90% score by the regulatory body.

It is also on record that Crescent University Mass Comm. trains students in specialist journalism in which over a dozen of specialized newspapers and magazines are produced every session by students for their practical training in news writing, news editing, headline casting, proofreading, opinion writing, advert copy writing, editorial writing, caption writing and page planning. The students' training print production includes: Image Frontier, Newsmakers, OnStage, Airwaves, FoodSecurity, Health Matters, Agro Insight and many more.

These are in addition to teaching and mentoring in Digital Broadcasting, Digital Public Relations plus Advertising, Artificial Intelligence and Film and Cinematography.
