The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the suspension of admissions into the Law Faculty of Fountain University, Osogbo, for the 2025/26 academic session. This decision follows an updated directive from the Council of Legal Education (CLE), which added Fountain University to the list of institutions prohibited from admitting fresh students into their Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme.
JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made this known in a statement on Friday, confirming that Fountain University is now the ninth institution where JAMB will not be conducting admissions for the Law programme in the upcoming academic session. The CLE had earlier suspended Law admissions in eight other Nigerian universities due to various compliance issues. These include:
- Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State
- Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
- Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State
- Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State
- Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State
- Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State
- Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State
- Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State
The statement further clarified that the suspension at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, will last for two academic sessions (2025/2026 and 2026/2027) based on CLE’s directives. While JAMB did not specify the exact reasons for the suspensions, affected institutions are expected to resolve the identified issues before regaining accreditation to admit Law students.
