The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) would not be conducting admissions for the Law programme in eight (8) universities.
In a statement, the JAMB Spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin announced the development, explaining that the decision was taken following 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 said universities.
They are: Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State, Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State, Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State, Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State.
Others include; Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State, Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State, Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State and the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State.
The statement clarified that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, would 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”, the statement concluded.
