Datti-Ahmed’s University Ban: See List of Top Nigerian Politicians That Graduated From The School

The Baze University in Abuja made headlines a few days ago after the Nigerian Law School banned the institution from admitting students into its Law Faculty.

Truetells Nigeria reported that the Acting Secretary and Director of Administration of the Nigerian Law School, Aderonke Osho, made this known in a statement, stating that the institution was banned for consistently violating its admission quota of 50 students per session as approved by the Council of Legal Education (CLE).

She said the ban was a sequel to the findings of the CLE, which showed that the University’s Law Faculty currently had a backlog of over 347 law students waiting to be admitted into the Nigerian Law School.

Osho added that the University runs a three (3)-year LL.B programme for some UTME candidates without the approval of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and CLE.
