Law School approves 5 new faculties, places Atiba University under 10-year moratorium 

The Council of Legal Education (CLE) has approved five universities to begin offering Law starting 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 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.
