The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended admissions into law degree programmes at eight universities for the 2025/2026 academic session, following regulatory violations flagged by the Council of Legal Education (CLE).
In a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja, JAMB spokesperson Dr. Fabian Benjamin confirmed the suspension, stressing that the affected institutions had failed to meet the necessary requirements for running Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programmes.
The universities affected include:
- Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State
- Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
- Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State
- Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State
- Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State
- Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State
- Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State
- Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State
JAMB further disclosed that while admissions into the law programme at these institutions will be halted for the 2025/2026 session, the suspension at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will extend to the 2026/2027 academic session.
“As a result, JAMB will not process applications for law programmes in these universities for the specified academic sessions,” the statement read.
The decision underscores the CLE’s commitment to upholding legal education standards in Nigeria, ensuring that universities comply with established regulatory frameworks before admitting students into law faculties.
