Kwara State University, Malete (KWASU) has sent an appeal to the Council of Legal Education (CLE), requesting a reconsideration of the one-year ban on admission of law students imposed on the University.

In a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Council of Legal Education, KWASU pointed out that upon being informed of its violation of the CLE accreditation regulations in 2020, the University promptly ceased admitting students into its Law programme for two academic sessions.
The letter, signed by the University’s Registrar, Dr. Kikelomo W. Sallee, further explained that the pause on law students’ admission resulted in no students graduating from the Faculty of Law at the end of the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 academic sessions.
The University expressed its profound gratitude to the CLE for the reprieve granted to its law graduates currently undergoing mandatory vocational training at the Nigerian Law School. However, KWASU also addressed a social media report stating that the CLE had decided to suspend the University from admitting law students due to the commencement of the Law programme before CLE accreditation.
KWASU emphasized its zero-tolerance policy for violation of laws or regulations and reiterated that it had unilaterally suspended law student admissions upon being informed of the inadvertent violation in 2020. The University did not admit law students for two academic sessions until the Faculty of Law passed the CLE resource visit in 2021 and was cleared to commence the programme.
In light of these actions, KWASU sincerely appealed to the CLE to reconsider its position and waive the one-year admission ban imposed on the University, noting that the institution had demonstrated remorse by suspending the law admission process on its own accord for two academic sessions, even without the Council’s directive.
The University is now awaiting the Council of Legal Education’s response to its appeal and hopes for a favorable resolution to the matter.
