Fabian Benjamin, the public communications advisor at JAMB, said the universities were barred from admitting students for the programme after they were found to have violated rules guiding admission.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will not be conducting admissions for the law programme in eight public and private universities following the suspension of the bachelor of laws (LL. B) programme by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for the 2025/2026 academic session at the following universities.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, Fabian Benjamin, the public communications advisor at JAMB, said the universities were barred from admitting students for the programme after they were found to have violated rules guiding admission.
“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,” the statement reads.
“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.”
