The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the suspension of admissions into the Law Faculty of Fountain University, Osogbo, Osun State for the 2025/26 academic session for violating regulatory procedures.
The decision comes two days after the Board announced the suspension of eight universities for flouting their admission quota.
A statement on Friday in Abuja by the Board’s Public Communications Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said this followed an additional submission from the Council of Legal Education (CLE), making Fountain University the ninth institution where JAMB will not be conducting admissions into the Law programme for the 2025/26 academic session.
JAMB had earlier disclosed that it would not process admissions for the Law programme in eight Nigerian universities owing to the suspension of their Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the CLE.
The universities earlier affected are: Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State; Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State; Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State; Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State.
Others are, 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 and now, Fountain University, Osogbo, Osun State as the ninth one.
‘It is important to reiterate that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions, specifically the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions, based on the decision of the Council of Legal Education (CLE)’, the statement said.
