Year of Excellence: LawQuity Organization Impacts Hundreds of Youth within a Year

LawQuity has done wonderfully well within a year for the ex*****on of their program for Nigerian students—the organization has kept on its stand to empower young minds and Nigerian students to achieve their potential.

LawQuity is a student initiative. It was established to focus on social justice and professional development in Nigeria and beyond. It aims to inspire and equip our community to lead, learn, and grow.

This organization was established in July 2024, and within that year, from 2024 to 2025, we have organized educational programs that have impacted the lives of young minds.

Therefore, among our programs we have executed are:

1. Organized a three-week mentorship program for Nigerian law students in July 2024. The mentorship was attended by over 100 Nigerian law students, and their testimonies pushed us to do harder, and the mentorship was facilitated by seasoned experts.

2. Organized a two-week mentorship for Nigerian students in September 2024; this mentorship is an exclusive one, which was restricted to only 50 participants across Nigeria.

3. In June 2025, we organized a webinar session on ‘Law as a Launchpad: Building a Career That Moves with You.’ This focused on how law students can set a roadmap in order to achieve their legal career.

4. Organized a 3-day webinar on ‘Empowering Students Through Law, Voice, and Independence’ in July 2025; the webinar was facilitated by seasoned gender advocates. The webinar highlighted and explained how female students can overcome gender bias and gender violence in their school.

5. In August 2025, we organized a monthly webinar in collaboration with the Caretaker Committee of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS) on ‘How to Secure Opportunities and Position Yourself as the Right Candidate.’ What makes this session outstanding is that the speaker shares unpopular tips with our participants on how they secure challenging opportunities in the real world despite being students.

6. On the 25th of November, 2025, LawQuity partnered with the Asviol support initiative, and one of our co-founders spoke on ‘Healing with Knowledge: How Islamic Teachings Empower us to Confront Gender-Based Violence.’

7. Also, we presented our monthly webinar on the 30th of November, 2025. This session was themed, “The Role of Law in Promoting Gender Equality in School and Beyond.

Our pending projects are:

A. Sensitization in secondary school on the topic ‘Know Your Rights.’

B. Campaign about the Essence of Fundamental Human Rights in Nigeria.

On 30th, November 2025, we held our monthly webinar session on "The Role of Law in Promoting Gender Equality in School and Beyond", the session was an impactful, interactive and insightful one.

The session had the number of participants, some of them are law students while others are not.

Our facilitator did justice to the topic given, as he explained how law promotes gender equality in the school, and how the victims can stand against the perpetrators when their rights are infringed.

He said that some provisions of our law like S 42 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (CFRN) encourages gender equality, and also mentions some regulatory frameworks guiding gender equality in Nigeria.

Justice Must be Served—Story of Ochanya Obaje

Ochanya Obaje is a young girl born to Rose Abah and Michael Ogbanje on March 10th, 2005.

At five years old, her parents who wanted her to get an education after the only government school in their community of Ogene-Amejo in Benue State were inaccessible, then she was sent to live with her aunt, Felicia Ogbuja.

The Ogbujas lived in Ugboloko, Benue State, where Ochanya began schooling. She lived with Felicia, her husband Andrew Ogbuja, who was a lecturer at Benue State Polytechnic, and their five children.

When she was living with them, she faced a lot of trauma and was assaulted—the assault was first discovered by Winifred, Andrew and Felicia's daughter who caught her brother assaulting Ochanya and reported it to their parents.

While Andrew joined in scolding his son, he also had the intention to assault Ochanya. Despite this, neither Andrew nor Felicia informed Ochanya's parents about this incident until they were confronted.

As a 13 year old girl, she was r***d to death by her Aunty's husband and cousin, and this caused her to suffer from Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) for months—VVF is a medical condition where an opening form between the bladder and va**na. Before she left this world in 2018, Ochanya was using diapers because of her medical condition.

Sadly, after the trauma, Ochanya couldn't get justice in Nigeria's judicial system—she left this world in agony and the perpetrators are moving freely.

Your support counts a lot.

Happy Nigeria Independence 🇳🇬.

Nigeria @65 : We are celebrating the day we were freed from colonial bo***ge. October 1st is the day that echoes liberty in the mind of Nigeria. The day that can't be erased in the history of Nigeria.

Today is the day of celebration—celebrating freedom, not the day of criticism. What this day is all about is independence not how the government governs the country.

Today is worth celebrating. Happy Independence Day to all Nigerians.

Nigeria will be Greater and Better.
