The council also cautioned that students admitted into unapproved law programmes would not be eligible for admission into the Nigerian Law School.
“The public is further informed that any university that admits students into a law programme without the approval of the Council of Legal Education is acting contrary to the provisions regulating legal education in Nigeria and will be subject to appropriate sanctions,” the circular stated.
The council added that it would continue to update the list in line with its statutory mandate to regulate legal education in the country.
