Northern Universities affected as JAMB stops Law admissions in eight schools

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will no longer conduct admissions for the Law programme in eight universities, including several in Northern Nigeria.

JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, citing the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws programme by the Council of Legal Education for the 2025/2026 academic session.

Among the affected universities are Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State; Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State; and the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State.

Others include Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State; Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State; Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State; Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State; and Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State.

The statement further clarified that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, would last 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.

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