The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended Law admissions in eight universities for the 2025/2026 academic session following the Council of Legal Education’s decision to halt their Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programs due to non-compliance with regulatory standards.
JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, listed the affected institutions as Kwara State University, Malete; Bingham University, Karu; Redeemer’s University, Ede; Western Delta University, Oghara; Taraba State University, Jalingo; Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo; Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike; and the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil.
The suspension at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend through the 2026/2027 session.
As a result, JAMB will not process Law admissions for these universities in the affected academic years.
An insider from one of the institutions revealed that exceeding admission quotas in recent years contributed to the CLE’s decision, serving as a warning to deter future violations.
