Baze University Abuja Faces 5-Year Ban on Law Admissions

The Council of Legal Education (CLE) has enforced a five-year moratorium on law admissions at Baze University Abuja due to consistent violations of approved quotas. The Nigerian Law School revealed that the university, founded by Yusuf Datti-Ahmed, Labour Party’s presidential running mate, had a backlog of 347 law graduates awaiting admission.

According to the CLE, Baze University exceeded its annual 50-student allotment by admitting over 750 law students since 2017. The university was also found to be offering a three-year law degree program for some candidates, contrary to the accredited five-year national benchmark curriculum.

The council imposed the five-year ban to address the backlog and compliance issues, with follow-up visits planned to assess the implementation of remedies. Despite criticism, officials emphasized the need for regulatory oversight, assuring that the fate of innocent students and parents would be addressed. Prospective students were advised to avoid the university temporarily by admission bodies like JAMB.

Ms. Aderonke Osho, the Acting Secretary and Director of Administration of the Nigerian Law School, explained, “The moratorium will last in the first instance for a period of 5 years and may be renewed if no satisfactory action is taken to remedy the situation.” The statement also informed relevant bodies and the public about the status of Baze University Abuja and its law faculty.
