By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo
The management of Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State, has clarified the circumstances surrounding the one-year suspension of admissions into its Law programme by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for the 2025/2026 academic session.
In a statement released on Saturday by the university’s Deputy Director of Corporate Affairs, Adetunji Adeleye, the suspension was attributed to the Council for Legal Education’s (CLE) decision to penalize the institution for commencing its Law programme in 2017 with only the approval of the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The university explained that it currently holds full accreditation from both the NUC and the CLE to offer an undergraduate Law programme.
The statement emphasized that the one-year ban does not affect students currently enrolled in the university’s Faculty of Law.
According to the statement:
“Redeemer’s University holds all regulatory institutions in high regard and will comply with the penalty imposed by the CLE by not offering admission into the Law programme for the 2025/2026 academic session.
“Prospective candidates may apply to other programmes offered by Redeemer’s University, as all other courses in the institution have the required accreditations.”
It would be recalled that JAMB announced on Thursday that it would not conduct admissions for the Law programme in eight institutions following the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme.
The affected universities include:
- Kwara State University, Malete, Kwara State
- Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
- Redeemer’s 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
- Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State
