JAMB Suspends Law Admissions in Eight Universities for 2025/2026 Session
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended Law admissions in eight universities for the 2025/2026 academic session following regulatory violations.
The decision comes after the Council of Legal Education (CLE) halted the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme in the affected institutions for non-compliance with legal education standards.
JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, listed the affected universities as:
- Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin
- Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
- Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State
- Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State
- Taraba State University, Jalingo
- Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State
- Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State
- Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State
The Nigerian Police Academy’s suspension will extend through the 2026/2027 session.
“As a result, JAMB will not process admissions for Law candidates in these universities for the 2025/2026 academic session,” Benjamin confirmed in a statement.
A source from one of the affected institutions acknowledged past admission quota violations, stating, “We are being penalized alongside other universities to serve as a deterrent to future violations.”
JAMB introduces mock UTME for candidates below 16
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has introduced a mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) designed for candidates below the age of 16.
Speaking at a meeting with media executives in Lagos on Sunday, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, clarified that the mock UTME is not intended for tertiary institution admission but rather for underage students seeking to test their abilities.
“This year’s UTME will hold on March 8, 2025. The sale of forms will begin on January 31 and end on March 5. A mock exam is scheduled for February 23,” Oloyede announced.
He further explained that the mock exam would provide trial testing for candidates ineligible for admission into universities, polytechnics, or colleges of education due to the age limit of 16 years. To qualify for admission, candidates must turn 16 on or before September 30.
Oloyede added that candidates not seeking admission in 2025 but desiring a computer-based testing experience could also register for the trial mock exams.
