JAMB Suspends Law Admission At 8 Varsities

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended admission of candidates to study Law at eight universities for the 2025/2026 academic session due to the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the Council of Legal Education (CLE).

The affected universities are Kwara State University, Bingham University, Redeemers University, Western Delta University, Taraba State University, Arthur Jarvis University, Alex Ekwueme Federal University, and the Nigerian Police Academy.

JAMB noted that the suspension will last for two academic sessions at the Nigerian Police Academy, extending into the 2026/2027 session.

JAMB’s Public Communications Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said on Wednesday that as a result, the Board will not approve Law programme admissions at the affected institutions for the specified period.

He said; “Please note that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will 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 enroll in the Law programme at the aforementioned universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.

“Furthermore, the ban on registration for the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session.”
