2025 UTME: JAMB Lists Universities Candidates Should Not Apply to Study Law, Gives Reason.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed candidates for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to avoid selecting specific universities for law programs. This decision stems from the suspension of law programs at these institutions by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The eight universities affected are:

  1. Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin
  2. Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa
  3. Redeemers University, Ede, Osun
  4. Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta
  5. Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba
  6. Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River
  7. Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi
  8. Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano

JAMB clarified that the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, would not admit law students for two academic sessions, covering both the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 academic years. The affected universities have been officially informed about the suspension.

Reasons Behind the Suspension

JAMB attributed the decision to the CLE’s action against the affected institutions’ Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programs. The CLE’s suspension aims to address issues related to compliance and quality standards in legal education. Consequently, JAMB emphasized that candidates should note this update and choose other universities for their law studies.

This announcement follows JAMB’s recent advisory to 2025 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates. The examination board urged prospective candidates to secure their National Identity Number (NIN) and acquire a new phone number ahead of registration.

In a statement on its official X (formerly Twitter) page dated January 15, JAMB assured candidates that registration details would soon be released.

Introduction of “The Lekki Headmaster”

JAMB has also introduced a new reading text, “The Lekki Headmaster,” authored by arts and culture journalist Kabir Alabi Garba, as part of the Use of English syllabus for the 2025 UTME. The update was announced on January 14, 2025, via JAMB’s X platform.

In another development, JAMB announced the inclusion of a mock examination for underage candidates registering for the 2025 UTME. The registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, shared this information during a stakeholder meeting.

He elaborated on the registration fees, stating that candidates opting for the mock exam would pay N8,200, while those without it would pay N7,200. The Direct Entry fee is set at N5,700, and the Trial Testing Mock for underage candidates costs N3,500.
