The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended the admission of students for law programmes in Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State, Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State and six other Nigerian universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The spokesman for JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on yesterday.
He explained that the decision followed the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for violating regulatory procedures.
Benjamin further said the suspension of the law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions: the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions.
“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.
“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,” he said.
