The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended admissions into law programmes at eight Nigerian universities due to regulatory violations. The affected institutions include Kwara State University (KWASU), Redeemer’s University, and six others. This decision comes as part of JAMB’s efforts to ensure compliance with legal education standards and uphold academic integrity in the country’s tertiary institutions.
According to reports, the suspension was imposed due to issues related to accreditation and regulatory compliance. JAMB stated that some of the universities failed to meet the necessary requirements set by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and other relevant authorities for running law programmes. The board emphasized that until these institutions rectify their deficiencies, no new students will be admitted into their law faculties.
KWASU has responded to the development, assuring its current law students that the suspension will not affect them. The university management stated that ongoing students will continue their studies without disruption and that efforts are underway to resolve the issue with JAMB and regulatory bodies. Other affected universities have yet to publicly address the situation.
The suspension has raised concerns among prospective law students who had applied to these institutions for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Many are now uncertain about their admission prospects and may have to consider alternative institutions.
JAMB has urged universities to adhere strictly to regulatory guidelines to avoid similar penalties in the future. It remains to be seen how quickly the affected institutions will address the concerns raised and whether JAMB will lift the suspension before the next academic session begins.
