The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended admissions for the Law programme in eight universities across Nigeria.
JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, announced this decision in a statement on Wednesday, citing the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws programme by the Council of Legal Education for the 2025/2026 academic session in the affected institutions.
The universities impacted by this directive include:
- Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State
- Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
- Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State
- Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State
- Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State
- Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State
- Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State
- Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State
Notably, the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, will last for two academic sessions—2025/2026 and 2026/2027.
“As a result, JAMB will not process admissions for candidates applying to study Law at these institutions for the 2025/2026 academic session,” the statement read.
Additionally, the Nigerian Police Academy will remain ineligible for Law programme registrations through the 2026/2027 academic session.
