A Nigerian law graduate, Amasa Firdaus Abdulsalam, has finally been allowed to participate in the call to the bar ceremony, having been previously banned in November 2017 due to her hijab.
Abdulsalam graduated from the University of Ilorin Nigeria with a First Class upper degree.
She was not allowed to join the "call bar programme", the official ceremony in which an individual obtains a license to practice law in the west African nation jurisdiction.
