The Kwara State University, Malete, has said that the recent one-year ban on admission into KWASU’s law programme does not affect students currently running their programmes in its Faculty of Law.
The Acting Director, University Relations, Dr Saeedat Aliyu, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Ilorin.
Aliyu said the ban was a result of the decision of the Council for Legal Education to sanction KWASU for commencing the law programme in 2018 with only the approval of the National Universities Commission.
She said KWASU had full accreditation from the NUC and the CLE to run two undergraduate law programmes: Common Law and Common and Islamic Law.
“Management wishes to state that the one-year ban does not in any way affect students currently running their programmes in the University’s Faculty of Law.
“KWASU holds all regulatory institutions in very high regard and will comply with the sanctions imposed by CLE by not offering admission into the two law programmes in the coming 2025/2026 admission session.
“Prospective candidates into these programmes may apply to other equally excellent programmes offered by KWASU as all programmes in the institution have all the required accreditations,” Aliyu said.
