The Council of Legal Education (CLE), has imposed a five-year moratorium on admission of law students to the Faculty of Law at Baze University, Abuja with immediate effect.
The Independent Mirror reported that this was contained in a statement signed by its acting Secretary and Director of Administration, Ms Aderonke Osho, and issued by the CLE on the accreditation status of the faculty.
The statement accused the institutions of consistently contravening its admission quota of 50 students per session as approved by the Council, resulting in the Faculty currently having a backlog of over 347 law students waiting to be admitted into the Nigerian Law School.
It added that Baze University runs a three (3)-year LL.B programme for some UTME candidates without the approval of National Universities Commission (NUC), Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB and Council of Legal Education.
