JAMB Bars Another University From Offering Law Programme

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the suspension of admissions into the Law Faculty of Fountain University, Osogbo, for the 2025/26 academic session.

A statement by JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, said the suspension followed an additional submission from the Council of Legal Education (CLE), making Fountain University the ninth institution where JAMB will not be conducting admissions into the Law programme for the 2025/26 academic session.

Recall that JAMB had earlier disclosed that it would not process admissions for the Law programme in eight Nigerian universities owing to the suspension of their Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the CLE.

The affected institutions include Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State, Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State, Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State, Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State and Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State.

Other institutions include Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State, Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State, Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State and Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State.

The Board explained however that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions: specifically, the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions.

“As a result, JAMB will not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enroll in the Law programme at the aforementioned universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.

“Furthermore, the ban on registration for the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session,” the statement concluded.
