Former Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, has called for the introduction of Islamic law as part of the curriculum at the Ghana School of Law.

Speaking at a grand iftar organised by the Ghana School of Law Muslim Students Association in Accra on Friday, March 28, Abdul-Hamid underscored the significance of expanding legal education to reflect Ghana’s diverse legal traditions.

The event, themed "Reflections on the Ideals of Ramadan: Lessons for a Nation in Search of Development," provided a platform for discussions on governance, justice, and equity.

Abdul-Hamid emphasized that Islamic jurisprudence offers profound insights into legal principles that can enhance students’ understanding of justice and governance within a multicultural society.

He argued that incorporating it into legal education would promote inclusivity and equip future lawyers with a broader perspective on legal systems.

He urged the Ghana School of Law to consider this proposal as part of its efforts to modernize and enrich its academic offerings.

His advocacy highlights the need for a legal education framework that embraces diversity and prepares graduates to navigate the complexities of an increasingly globalized legal landscape.
