Umukoro said he also won prizes as the best graduating student in Property Law, Corporate Law Practice, and Civil Litigation. He stated that though he graduated excellently the academic journey was not an easy one.
He mentioned that his achievement was not a surprise for him as he expected it upon completion of his Law School examination just like how he aced his WAEC and GSCE with two awards in 2017.
”As I struck my pen on those answer sheets in the month of November, I felt something like this could happen. I really did, just like the straight As in WAEC in ‘16 and the two IGCSE awards in ‘17, you tend to just feel these things,” he said.
Umukoro stated that though he faced some challenges in Law school, however, with the help of God, everything turned out well in the end. He expressed his gratitude to his family, friends, and everyone who supported him throughout the journey from the very beginning.
