The Council of Legal Education in Nigeria has published a comprehensive list of 122 universities authorized to admit students into the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) program, effective August 2026. The Council emphasized that only accredited institutions can admit students into the LL.B program, and those admitted into unapproved law programs would not be eligible for admission into the Nigerian Law School.
The list includes a diverse range of universities, spanning various states across Nigeria. Notable institutions include Abia State University, Adekunle Ajasin University, Al-Hikmah University, and Ahmadu Bello University, among many others.
Additionally, the Council has issued moratoriums on admissions for several universities, meaning they are temporarily restricted from admitting new students into their LL.B programs during specified periods. These universities include Baze University in Abuja with a three-year moratorium, Lead City University in Ibadan with a five-year moratorium, and the Nigeria Police Academy in Wudil with a two-year moratorium. These restrictions were approved by the Council's governing body.
