JUST IN: JAMB Suspends Law Admission In Redeemers And 7 Other Universities [FULL LIST]—-The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has declared that eight tertiary institutions in the country would not be allowed to admit candidates into law for the 2025/2026 admission session.
This was made known on Wednesday by JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, who disclosed that the LL.B programme in these institutions has been suspended by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for the period.
The affected institutions were listed as the Kwara State University, Bingham University in Nasarawa; Redeemers University in Osun, Western Delta University in Delta state, Taraba State University, Arthur Jarvis University in Cross River, Alex Ekwueme Federal University in Ebonyi state, and Nigerian Police Academy in Kano.
Benjamin said the suspension of the law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend beyond the 2025/2026 academic session, and will cover the 2026/2027 session as well.
At the time of filing this report, TGM could not independently report the specific criteria over which CLE suspended admissions to law programmes in the affected institutions.
It is, however, understood that the CLE regularly puts measures in place to ensure compliance with legal education standards.
