KWASU Responds to JAMB’s Suspension of Law Programme Admissions

KWASU Responds to JAMB’s Suspension of Law Programme Admissions-OXYGIST

The management of Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, has expressed its readiness to comply with the one-year suspension of its Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme for the 2025/2026 academic session, as directed by the Council of Legal Education (CLE).


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had earlier announced that it would not process admissions for law programmes in eight universities, including KWASU, due to regulatory concerns.


In response, KWASU’s Acting Director of University Relations, Dr. Saeedat Aliyu, clarified that the suspension stemmed from the university’s initial commencement of its law programme in 2018 with only the approval of the National Universities Commission (NUC), without prior clearance from the CLE.


She reassured stakeholders that the institution currently holds full accreditation from both the NUC and CLE to run two undergraduate law programmes—Common Law and Islamic Law.


“The one-year ban does not affect students currently enrolled in the Faculty of Law. KWASU respects all regulatory bodies and will fully comply with the CLE’s directive by suspending admissions into the law programmes for the 2025/2026 session.”


The university encouraged prospective applicants to consider other well-accredited programmes available at KWASU.
