The Council of Legal Education (CLE) has imposed a 10-year ban on Atiba University in Oyo State from offering Law, citing inadequate facilities and violations of regulations governing legal education.
The decision was reached during the Council’s Third Quarter Hybrid Meeting held on August 13, 2026, at the Nigerian Law School headquarters in Bwari, Abuja.
According to the Council, Atiba University’s facilities were considered inappropriate and inadequate for running a Faculty of Law. The university was also accused of admitting and graduating law students without obtaining the required approval.
The Council said the 10-year moratorium was imposed to ensure compliance with legal education standards and to protect the quality and integrity of legal education in Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the Council approved five universities to begin offering Law from the 2026/2027 academic session. They are:
Amadeus University, Amazi, Abia State
Akwa Ibom State University
European University of Nigeria, Abuja
Oduduwa University, Ipetu-Modu, Osun State
Peaceland University, Enugu
Each institution will initially be allowed to admit 50 Law students into 100 level.
However, the Council rejected Maranatha University, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, from starting a Law programme because of several deficiencies found during its inspection.
The Council also increased the admission quotas of several universities, including Bowen University, Ajayi Crowther University, Topfaith University, North-Eastern University, Elizade University, Chrisland University, Joseph Ayo Babalola University and Olabisi Onabanjo University.
The decisions followed reports from the Council’s Facilities Verification and Accreditation Panel after inspections of the affected universities.
