JAMB admission ban doesn’t affect ongoing law programme: KWASU
The Kwara State University says the recent one-year ban on admission into its law programme does not affect current students.
The university’s spokeswoman, Saeedat Aliyu, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
The university said the ban resulted from the decision of the Council for Legal Education to sanction KWASU for commencing the law programme in 2018 with only the approval of the National Universities Commission.
It explained that KWASU had full accreditation from 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.
“KWASU holds all regulatory institutions in very high regard and will comply with the sanctions imposed by CLE by not offering admission into the 2 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,” the statement said.
On Wednesday, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board announced that there would be no student intake for the law programme at KWASU and seven other universities.
This followed the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws programme by the CLE for the 2025/2026 academic session at the affected universities.
As a result, JAMB said it would not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enrol in the law programme for the 2025/2026 academic session.
