The director – general of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) , Professor Abubakar Sulaiman, Monday, said there was close to 100% enrollment for its post graduate courses by interested students in the 2024 / 2025 academic year.

Professor Sulaiman said a total of 244 students enrolled for the various post graduate degree programmes and diploma courses in the 2024/2025 academic year as against 190 students recorded for the 2023/2024 academic year.
He posited that the increase in the enrollment has correlation to quality of the courses being offered by the institute.
