The Council of Legal Education (CLE) has approved five universities to begin offering Law from the 2026/2027 academic session.
But it also placed Atiba University, Oyo State, under a 10-year moratorium after finding that the institution breached its regulatory requirements.
The five universities approved to begin Law are Amadeus University, Amazi, Abia State; Akwa Ibom State University; European University of Nigeria, Abuja; Oduduwa University, Ipetu-Modu, Osun State; and Peaceland University, Enugu State.
The council approved an initial quota of 50 students for each university’s 100 Level intake.
In a statement posted on Sunday on its Facebook page by Aderonke Osho, Secretary to the Council and Director of Administration, the council reached the decisions at its third-quarter hybrid meeting on 13 August at the headquarters of the Nigerian Law School in Bwari, Abuja.
