The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board ,JAMB, has announced that it will not process admissions for the Law programme at eight universities due to the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Public Communications Advisor, explained that the Council of Legal Education had suspended the law programmes for the 2025/2026 academic session because the affected institutions failed to adhere to regulatory guidelines.
The affected universities include Kwara State University, Malete; Bingham University, Karu; Redeemer’s University, Ede; Western Delta University, Oghara; Taraba State University, Jalingo; Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo; Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike; and the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil.
