Imoter Kelvin Kpengwa, Esq. and Obiorah Victor Chibuzor have emerged winners of the Young Lawyers’ and Law Students’ categories of the 5th Adavize Alao Essay Competition on Privacy and Data Protection respectively.
The Adavize Alao Essay Competition on Privacy and Data Protection is held annually in honour of Lawyard co-founder, Adavize Alao, who passed on in August 2019 following a brief illness.

The university post-humously conferred the degree on Alao in December 2019.
The 5th edition of the essay competition was facilitated by Lawyard with the support of Duale Ovia & Alex-Adedipe (DOA) and TechHive Advisory.
