The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended admissions into the law faculty of Fountain University in Osogbo.
The suspension, which came after the board similarly halted
admission into eight other law programmes, is for the 2025/26 academic session.
Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s national spokesperson, said the
decision followed communication from the Council of Legal Education (CLE).
It makes Fountain University the ninth institution where
JAMB will not process law admissions for the forthcoming academic year.
Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin
Bingham University, Karu
Redeemer’s University, Ede
Western Delta University, Oghara
Taraba State University, Jalingo
Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo
Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike
Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil
The suspension is understood to be part of CLE
regulatory measures to ensure compliance with legal education standards.
As of this report, the criteria over which CLE suspended
admissions to law programmes in the affected institutions is still unclear.
The CLE oversees and supervises the education of individuals
aspiring for legal practice in Nigeria.
In 2023, it handed out a five-year ban on law admissions at
Baze University for “serially” violating its approved intake quotas.
The regulatory body said the violation had caused a backlog
of 347 law graduates awaiting admission to the Nigerian Law School (NLS).
