The Arewa Young Lawyers’ Forum (AYLF) has said there will be a debate competition at its maiden summit on March 31 and April 1 in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
AYLF chairman, Olayinka Jimoh told The Nation that the debate is open to participants between 0-7 years post-call, adding that “Interested applicants should send in their essays of between 800 and 1000 words on the topic ‘Pupilage in law: should it be mandatory?’ on or before the March 25, 2022 to arewaylfsummit@gmail.com.
Jimoh said the best five essays would be selected to compete against each other at the debate finals.
“There would be prizes for only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners”, he added.
He explained that the two-day event will feature, among others, an election to usher in new national officers.
Jimoh, who was elected as pioneer chairman in 2018, said having ended their tenure, he and his executive committee would hand over to new leaders.
