The Council of Legal Education (CLE) has approved the establishment of new law faculties in five universities, increased admission quotas for several others, and sanctioned three institutions for breaching regulatory procedures.
These decisions were made at the council’s first-quarter meeting for 2026, held last Wednesday in Abuja.
The meeting, chaired by the Chairman of the Council, Chief Emeka Ngige (SAN), deliberated on key regulatory, academic, administrative, and policy issues affecting legal education and the Nigerian Law School.
