JAMB Suspends Law Admission in POLAC, KWASU, Six Other Varsities

JAMB has announced that they would no longer conduct Law admissions for the Law programme in these eight (8) universities.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) would no longer conduct admissions for the Law programme in these eight universities.

JAMB spokesman, Fabian Benjamin announced the development in a statement on Wednesday.

According to Benjamin, the decision was taken following the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws programme by the Council of Legal Education for the 2025/2026 academic session at the said universities.

The affected universities are

• Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State,
• Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State,

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