Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the suspension of admission exercise into law programmes in eight universities for violating regulatory procedures.
The affected institutions are Kwara State University, Ilorin; Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State; Redeemers’ University, Ede, Osun State; Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State.
Others are Taraba State University, Jalingo; Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State; Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State; and Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State.
JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, on Wednesday -today, January 29 – noted that the decision was in response to the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for the 2025/2026 academic session at the affected institutions.
He, however, 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,” he added.
