The management of Islamic Leadership Academy, Kuje, Abuja has named one of its girls' hostels after Barrister Firdausi Aljannah Amasa.
In 2017,the law graduate of the University of Illorin was disallowed from performing the call to bar ceremony by the Nigerian Law School for insisting on wearing her hijab during the occasion.
However, following the furore generated by the incident, the Nigerian Law School Body Of Benchers in 2018, approved the use of hijab by female Muslim lawyers during call to bar ceremonies.
The Proprietor of Islamic Leadership Academy, Kuje described Amasa's call to bar as a victory for female Muslim lawyers as regards the wearing of the hijab in Nigeria.
