JASAN Foundation Celebrates First Anniversary, Announces Major Expansion of Sponsorship Programme

The Johnny Agim, SAN Foundation (“JASAN Foundation”) on Saturday the 13th of September announced a significant expansion of its scholarship programme, coinciding with the Birthday of the Founder/President, Mr. Johnny Agim, SAN and the Organisation’s One-Year anniversary.
The JASAN Foundation, officially launched on 13 September 2024, is increasing the number of beneficiaries for its #Legacy500 Elite Sponsorship Programme from 11 to 30.
The Call for Applications which was made on the 19th September 2025, was further reiterated as the Foundation marked a year of progress in building a lasting legacy of transgenerational institutions within the Nigerian legal eco-system.
The JASAN Foundation’s programmes of Mentorship, Sponsorship, Reforms, and Advocacy (MSRA), have seen several key achievements in its inaugural year, including the following milestones:
1. #TheLegacyDialogue 1.0:  
The Foundation convened the inaugural edition of #TheLegacyDialogue, a high-level summit with the theme “Professional identity formation and mentorship in the legal profession”, which was attended by distinguished leaders of the Bar, Bench, and academia.
2. Indigent Lawyers Sponsorship:
Eleven indigent law students received full tuition support for the Nigerian Law School’s 2024/2025 Bar Part II Programme.
3. Strategic Engagements:
The Foundation strengthened relationships with senior members of the legal community and key institutions to foster indicative collaborations. These include the Nigerian Bar Association [NBA], and the National Judicial Council (NJC), amongst others.
4. Mentorship and Knowledge Sharing:
Thought leadership articles were published and mentorship sessions were hosted for the initial group of beneficiaries of the #Legacy500 programme.
Looking ahead, the JASAN Foundation’s plans include the second edition of the #Legacy500 Elite Sponsorship Programme, which will accommodate up to 30 beneficiaries, aiming to further democratise opportunities for legal education.

The Foundation is also set to launch its MSRA Blueprint & Mentorship Platform at its second annual flagship event, #TheLegacyDialogue 2.0.
This institutional reform summit is scheduled for Friday, 24 October 2025, at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.
The theme will be “Institutionalisation of Mentorship in the Legal Profession: A Strategic Blueprint for Professional Development.” The event will also see the launch of the #Legacy500 Elite Mentorship Programme for young lawyers with up to 10 years of professional experience.

The Foundation has also engaged Mrs. Victoria T. Babadara, a seasoned programme and communications expert, to serve as its Programme/Communications Officer [PCO] to help accelerate the execution of its programmes.
In a statement issued by the Board of Trustees [BoT] during the commemoration of its one-year anniversary, the JASAN Foundation extended its gratitude to its supporters, noting that the achievements would not have been possible without their goodwill and belief in the Foundation’s vision: “Aedificans Legatum Legitimum – Building a Lasting Legacy.”
