The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB), has explained why it would no longer conduct admissions for the Law programme in eight universities.
JAMB spokesman, Fabian Benjamin gave the explanation in a statement on Wednesday.
According to Benjamin, the decision was taken following the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws programme by the Council of Legal Education for the 2025/2026 academic session at the said universities.
The affected universities are Kwara Sta5te University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State, Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State, Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State, 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 clarified that the suspension of the Law programme 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 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”, the statement concluded.
