The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced it will no longer facilitate admissions for the Law programme at eight universities.
JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, shared this news in a statement on Wednesday.
Benjamin explained that this decision follows the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws programme by the Council of Legal Education for the 2025/2026 academic session at these institutions.
The universities impacted by this suspension include Kwara State University, Malete in Kwara State; Bingham University in Karu, Nasarawa State; Redeemers University in Ede, Osun State; and Western Delta University in Oghara, Delta State.
Other affected institutions are Taraba State University in Jalingo, Taraba State; Arthur Jarvis University in Akpabuyo, Cross River State; Alex Ekwueme Federal University in Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State; and the Nigerian Police Academy in Wudil, Kano State.
The statement further clarified that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will be for two academic sessions: the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions.
“As a result, JAMB will not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enroll in the Law programme at the aforementioned universities for the 2025/2026 academic session,” the statement read.
“Furthermore, the ban on registration for the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session,” it added.
