The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will no longer conduct admissions for the Law programme in eight Nigerian universities.

The affected universities are Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State, Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State, Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State, Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State.
