]]> A professional student at the Ghana School of Law, (GIMPA campus), Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, has donated assorted food items and toiletries worth four thousand cedis to the Palace Gold Child Support Orphanage at Kasoa in the Central Region.

The act of generosity displayed by the law student on Boxing Day last week, was aimed at extending love and affection to the needy during the festive season.

“I was inspired to make this humble offer by my Mum who single-handedly brought my two sisters and me up. I want to honour her hard work and dedication to the education and upbringing of women, believing that this modest help would positively impact on the future of these young ones,” she said.

She explained that “Boxing Day, December 26, is my birthday, but I would rather the money expended on partying is spent on these less fortunate ones to give them a sense of belonging and affection during this festive season”.

Miss Okunor challenged public-spirited individuals and well-resourced companies to make the education and welfare of the less privileged a priority for a secured future for all.

The Manager of the orphanage, Madam Rosette, could not hide her appreciation for the gesture, saying it was a rare display coming from a youthful woman who sacrificed pleasures on her birthday and rather gave to the needy and vulnerable.

She said the Orphanage needed the assistance of all to enable managers deliver on their mandate of educating the less fortunate in society.

]]> A Nigerian law graduate has been denied her call to the bar after insisting on wearing a hijab during the ceremony.

Amasa Firdaus was refused entry into the hall at the law school at the University of Ilorin where the ceremony took place.

She refused to remove her hijab, insisting instead on wearing the wig on top of her headscarf, local media say.

This was deemed as going against the dress code set by her law school, the university says.

Ms Firdaus described the actions of the Nigerian law school as “a violation of her rights”, according to reports.

The case has attracted significant attention on social media.

A female Instagram user said Ms Firdaus was within her rights.

One Twitter user, Juliet ‘Kego, said it was an example of sexism in Nigerian society.

However, Tobechukwu Ekwunife said Ms Firdaus should respect the no-hijab rules of the law school.
