Kwara uni assures its JAMB suspension doesn’t affect its “full accreditation” by NUC and CLE

By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor

Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, Ilorin, has explained that its suspension from admission into law programme by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) does not affect its current students enrolled in the faculty of law.

KWASU Publix Relations Director Saeedat Aliyu clarified in a statement issued in Ilorin on Thursday that the suspension was a result of the decision of the Council for Legal Education (CLE) to sanction KWASU for commencing its law programme in 2018 with only the approval of the National Universities Commission (NUC).

Aliyu stressed that KWASU currently has full accreditation from both the NUC and the CLE to run two undergraduate law programmes: Common Law and Common and Islamic Law.

“Management wishes to state that the one-year ban does not in any way affect students currently running their programs in the University’s Faculty of Law,” she said.

“KWASU holds all regulatory institutions in very high regard and will comply with the sanctions imposed by CLE by not offering admission into the two law programs in the coming 2025/2026 admission session.

“Prospective candidates into these programs may apply to other equally excellent programs offered by KWASU as all programs in the institution have all the required accreditations.”

JAMB on Wednesday announced that admission into Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme in KWASU and seven other universities will not be processed for the 2025/2026 academic session.

A statement issued by JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin explained that the decision was based on the suspension of law programmes in the institutions by the Council of Legal Education (CLE), Nigeria’s highest decision-making body for legal education.

JAMB listed the schools as

  • Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin
  • Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa
  • Redeemers University, Ede, Osun
  • Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta
  • Taraba State University, Jalingo
  • Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River
  • Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi
  • Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano

“As a result, JAMB will not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enrol in the law programme at the aforementioned universities for the 2025/2026 academic session,” the statement said.
