The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the suspension of Law programme admissions in eight universities for the 2025/2026 academic session due to non-compliance with Council of Legal Education (CLE) regulations.
In a statement released on Wednesday, JAMB’s adviser, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, confirmed that the affected institutions would not be permitted to admit students into their Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programmes.
The universities impacted by this suspension include:
JAMB emphasized that no admission approvals will be granted for Law programmes in the listed universities for the upcoming session. This decision aligns with the CLE’s commitment to upholding standards in legal education.
Students aspiring to study Law in Nigeria should verify the accreditation status of their chosen institutions before applying. They are advised to consider alternative universities with CLE-approved programmes to avoid complications in their academic journey.
JAMB has reiterated its commitment to ensuring quality education and compliance with regulatory standards. Further updates on this issue may be released as the situation develops.
