The authority at Kwara State University, KWASU, Malete, has declared their decision to comply with the one-year suspension of the law programme in the institution by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB.
JAMB in a release earlier on Wednesday had announced that it will not be processing admissions for candidates applying for the law programme in eight selected universities, including KWASU, following the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the Council of Legal Education, CLE, for the 2025/2026 academic session.
Reacting, the management of the institution explained in a statement by the Acting Director, University Relations, Dr Saeedat Aliyu, in Ilorin on Wednesday that: “JAMB’s announcement of a 1-year ban on admission into KWASU’s law programme is as a result of the decision of the Council for Legal Education (CLE) to sanction KWASU for commencing the law programme in 2018 with only the approval of the National Universities Commission (NUC).
“KWASU currently has full accreditation from both the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Council for Legal Education (CLE) to run 2 undergraduate law programmes: Common Law and Common and Islamic Law.
“Management wishes to state that the 1-year ban does not in any way affect students currently running their programmes in the University’s Faculty of Law.

The management advised prospective candidates into the law programmes to apply to other equally excellent programmes offered by KWASU as all programmes in the institution have all the required accreditations.
