KWASU Issues Notice on JAMB's 1-Year Law Admission Ban
JAMB has placed a one-year ban on Law admissions at Kwara State University (KWASU). The decision follows the Council for Legal Education's sanction over the university's Law programme. Read further for full details.
Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, has confirmed JAMB's decision to suspend admissions into its Law programmes for one year. The suspension follows a ruling by the Council for Legal Education (CLE) over the university's approval process when launching the programme.
Reason for the Ban
KWASU began its Law programme in 2018 with approval from the National Universities Commission (NUC) but without clearance from the Council for Legal Education (CLE).

Effect on Current Students
