For 2025/2026 academic year, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will not be responsible for conducting admissions for law programs at eight Nigerian universities.
This followed the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for violating regulatory procedures.
Spokesperson of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Benjamin listed the eight universities to include:
Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State;
Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State;
Redeemers University, Ede,
Osun State; and Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State.
Others are Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State;
Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State;
Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State;
and Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State.
According to Benjamin, the suspension of the law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions: 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,” he said.
“Furthermore, the ban on registration for the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session.”
