The Medical Law Hub is delighted to announce the conclusion of Stage 1 of the 2025 National Medical & Health Law Essay Competition organised by the Hub and the Institute of Medical and Health Law.

This first round brought together outstanding essays from universities across Nigeria, reflecting deep insight into medical negligence, health law, and bioethical principles. Each submission was evaluated by three independent judges, using a rigorous marking scheme that emphasized originality, legal authority, structure, and relevance to Nigerian health law.

After consolidating scores from all three judges, we are proud to present the Top 5 Universities advancing to the next round:

•  University of Abuja
• Federal University of Health Sciences, Azare
•  University of Ibadan
• Obafemi Awolowo University
• University of Ilorin

These universities distinguished themselves with exceptional legal research, persuasive arguments, and thoughtful engagement with medico-legal and bioethical issues.

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to all participating universities and individuals who submitted essays. Your contributions have enriched the discourse on Nigerian health law and demonstrated the growing strength of this field nationwide.

As we move into the next stage of the competition, the Top 5 will face off in structured debates exploring cutting-edge issues in medical law, ethics, and policy.

Stay tuned for updates on debate topics, schedules, and live coverage!

Together, we are building the future of Medical Law.
