The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will not be conducting admissions for law programmes in eight universities following the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) degree by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The council had suspended admission of students into the Faculties of Law of the universities for “wilfully admitting and graduating students before obtaining the accreditation of the council.”
In a statement signed by JAMB’s spokesperson, 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, and Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State.
The board explained 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 said.
