The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has told the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates that they should not select some listed universities for their law programmes.
The examination board said it would not conduct law admission into the listed universities because the Council of Legal Education (CLE) suspended law programmes for the 2025/2026 academic session in the affected universities.
The affected universities are:
- Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin
- Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa
- Redeemers University, Ede Osun
- Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta
- Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba
- Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River
- Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi
- Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kan.
JAMB noted that the affected universities have been informed that candidates seeking admission into their law programmes would not be approved for the 2025/2026 academic session.
According to the examination board, the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy in Wudil, Kano state, was suspended for two academic sessions in the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 academic calendars.
JAMB explained that the decision resulted from the Council of Legal Education (CLE) suspending Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programmes at the affected universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.
JAMB sent message 2025 UTME candidates
This came weeks after JAMB directed its 2025 prospective candidates for the UTME and Direct Entry (DE) to obtain their National Identity Number (NIN) and new phone number before registering.
In a statement on its X page on Wednesday, January 15, the examination board assured prospective candidates that the registration process would soon be announced and that the registration details would soon be released.
