The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the suspension of law admissions for the 2025-2026 academic session at eight universities.

This decision follows the Council of Legal Education’s (CLE) suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) program at these institutions due to violations of regulatory procedures.

JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, identified the affected universities as Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin; Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State; Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State; and Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State.

Additional institutions include Taraba State University, Jalingo; Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State; Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State; and the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State. The suspension at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend through both the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 academic sessions.

Dr. Benjamin confirmed that JAMB would not approve any admissions for students seeking to pursue law at these universities for the upcoming academic session.

An insider from one of the affected universities explained that the suspension stems from an admissions quota violation that occurred five years ago, adding that the universities are now being penalized as a warning to others who may violate regulations in the future.
