The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will no longer handle admissions for the Law programme at eight universities. JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, made the announcement in a statement released on Wednesday.
The decision follows the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the Council of Legal Education for the 2025/2026 academic session at these universities. The universities affected by this suspension include Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State; Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State; Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State; and Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State.
Other institutions impacted by the suspension are 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 further clarified that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy in Wudil would last for two academic sessions, the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions.
Consequently, JAMB will not approve any admissions for candidates seeking enrollment in the Law programme at these universities for the 2025/2026 academic session. Additionally, the ban on registration for the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session.
