Senator Dino Melaye has successfully passed the 2024/2025 Nigerian Law School Bar Examination with distinction, earning his place among the candidates who scaled through one of the most competitive sessions in recent history.
The announcement came shortly after the release of the results, confirming that Melaye—popularly known as SDM—excelled in the highly demanding exams.
His outstanding performance is being hailed as a significant achievement, particularly in a year where over 1,500 students reportedly failed and will have to retake the examination.
Despite the odds, Melaye, who previously represented Kogi West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, distinguished himself with what many have described as resilience and an unwavering commitment to academic excellence.
Sources close to the 2023 Kogi State gubernatorial aspirant said the period leading up to the exams marked the most focused academic phase of his life.
“For him to have made it out shows the qualities he possesses. He’s not just about what you see on social media,” a close associate told Lapalabras.com.
“We expect more from him, as he has a lot to offer our state and the country at large.”
Known for his colorful political persona and history of public service, Senator Melaye has now added the title “Barrister” to his name, opening a new chapter in his already multifaceted career.
