The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) would no longer conduct admissions for the law program in eight universities.
This was announced in a statement on Wednesday by JAMB spokesman, Fabian Benjamin.
According to Benjamin, the decision was taken following the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws program by the Council of Legal Education for the 2025/2026 academic session at the affected universities.
The affected universities are Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State; Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State; Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State; and 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 elucidated that the suspension of the law program 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 enrol in the law program at the aforementioned universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.
“Furthermore, the ban on registration for the law program at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session,” the statement concluded.
