On 29 July 2011, the ABSU Law Clinic participated in a human rights campaign at Girl’s Secondary Commercial, Asa Road, Aba, Abia State. The campaign was organized by a Human Rights Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association, Aba Branch, coordinated by Mrs. Ichie. The Clinic Community Outreach team was led by Ginika Okoroafor and Peace Ogbonna. The campaign was geared towards the sensitization of college students on their civil and political rights as enshrined in chapter four of the constitution and the various enforcement mechanisms available to them upon abuse of these rights. The event was a huge success.
The staff and students were intrigued by the information about human rights and had a lot of questions for both Mrs. Ichie and the Clinicians. At the end of the exercise, the Principal of the School, Dr. (Mrs.) Gina Onochie hosted the campaigners in her office and commended both the NBA and the Clinic for their time and effort at community service.
