JAMB Bans Law Admissions at 8 Universities
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dealt a severe blow to prospective law students as it officially suspended admissions to law programs at eight Nigerian universities. The decision, which affects the 2025/2026 academic session, has left many wondering why such drastic measures are necessary.

Suspended Law Programs: A Blow to Prospective Students

According to JAMB’s Public Communications Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, the board will not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enroll in the law program at the affected universities for the upcoming academic session.

The universities impacted by the suspension include 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 in Wudil, Kano State. While students at these universities had been hoping for clarity on their admissions, it now appears they will have to look elsewhere for law degrees.

Nigerian Police Academy’s Law Program Under Scrutiny

JAMB confirmed that the Nigerian Police Academy’s Law program will not be approved for the 2025/2026 academic session, and will remain suspended into the 2026/2027 session. “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,” Benjamin stated in a release made available to Channels Television.

This extension raises questions about the quality of legal education being offered at the Nigerian Police Academy. As one of the premier institutions in Nigeria, many expected the academy’s law program to be unaffected by such drastic measures. However, JAMB’s decision suggests otherwise.

The Bigger Question: What Happens Next for Law Students?

As JAMB cracks down on law admissions in these universities, prospective students are left to pick up the pieces. The suspension of law programs at these institutions is a clear indication that the Council of Legal Education believes these programs are not up to the necessary standards. But what does this mean for the future of law education in Nigeria?

The long-term effects of this suspension are still uncertain. Law students seeking enrollment in these universities now face an uphill battle, and many may turn to private universities, other federal institutions or international institutions to continue their studies
