The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has suspended Law admissions in eight universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.
This decision follows the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme in these institutions by the Council of Legal Education for failing to follow regulatory procedures.
JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, confirmed this in a statement, listing the affected universities as:
- Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin
- Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
- Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State
- Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State
- Taraba State University, Jalingo
- Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State
- Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State
- Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State
The suspension at the Nigerian Police Academy will last for the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 academic sessions.
“As a result, JAMB will not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enrol in the Law programme at these universities for the 2025/2026 academic session,” Benjamin said.
A source from one of the affected universities admitted that the violation happened years ago.
“We violated admission quotas some five years ago. Now, we are being punished along with the other universities as a warning to future violators,” the source said.
