The Law Commission and NICE jointly conducted legal literacy sessions in eighty-eight (88) schools and 88 communities in each of the six (6) districts. A total of 528 legal literacy sessions involving both learners and school structures were held and over 52,000 learners and 18,000 community members were reached.
