The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will not be conducting admissions for the Law programme in some selected universities 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 following universities:

1.  Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State
2.  Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
3.  Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State
4.  Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State

6.  Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State
7.  Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State
8.  Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State

This is contained in a statement by Fabian Benjamin, Ph.D, Public Communications Advisor for JAMB.

It noted that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions: specifically, 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,” JAMB added.
