Benjamin listed the eight universities to include:

Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State;

Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State;

Redeemers University, Ede,

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.”
