- JAMB Suspends Law Programmes in Some University
- These Universities Failed to Comply Laid Down Rules

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has announced the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme in several Nigerian universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.
This action was taken because these universities allegedly failed to comply with the necessary regulatory procedures for running the programme.

In an official statement released on Wednesday, JAMB’s Public Communications Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, listed the affected institutions. These include:
- Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State
- Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
- Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State
- Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State
- Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State
- Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State
- Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State
- Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State
According to the statement, the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions—specifically for the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions.
This means that JAMB will not process or approve any admissions for students who wish to study Law in these universities during the specified period. As a result, prospective students seeking admission into these institutions for a Law degree will have to look for alternatives in other accredited universities that meet the necessary requirements.
