The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB), has suspended admissions for law programmes in eight Nigerian universities in the 2025/2026 academic session.
This followed the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme in the affected tertiary institutions by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for violating regulatory procedures.
Spokesperson of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
The affected institutions 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 the statement, 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.
“Furthermore, the ban on registration for the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session,” the statement added.
