ABSU LAW CLINIC SENSITIZATION CUM KNOW YOUR RIGHT PROGRAMME IN ABIA STATE UNIVERSITY. On The 4th of March 2013 clinicians from Abia State University Law Clinic embarked on a street law sensitization cum know your rights programme in the school environs. The programme was aimed at sensitizing the students of Abia State University on their rights .The movement started from the Faculty of Law and progressed to the Faculty of Education, the nearest faculty to the law faculty. They visited the Faculties of Humanities, Environmental, Biological and Physical Sciences, Business Administration and The College of Medicine and Health Science. At each stop the students were enlightened on their rights. Some of such rights include; the right to enforce tenancy agreement and have recourse to the clinic for any breach thereof, fundamental human rights in its entirety and also the right to information. The law students made use of the public address system through which they called out to the students to take cognizance of their rights and have recourse to the clinic in the case of breach of any of such rights, fliers of ABSU Law Clinic were passed out and the clinicians also interacted on a one on one basis with students found on the walk way, in kiosks and every place they went by. The programme also stretched to the school cafeteria, male and female hostels and auditorium. The programme came to an end at the school auditorium when the clinicians had successfully gone through all the hot spots in school.
