JAMB REJECTS LEAD CITY UNIVERSITY LAW ADMISSIONS

Abuja, Nigeria — March 13, 2026

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disowned the admission of candidates into the Law Faculty of Lead City University, stating that the programme remains under a five-year suspension.

The Board clarified that the admissions in question did not pass through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), the only authorised platform for processing admissions into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

In a statement issued by its Public Communications Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, JAMB said it had received several complaints accusing the Board of negligence for allowing students to be admitted into the university’s Law Faculty despite the subsisting suspension.

JAMB described the development as unfortunate and reiterated that any admission conducted outside CAPS is illegal and invalid.

The Board also warned prospective candidates to avoid accepting admission offers that are not processed through CAPS, urging them to verify their admission status through the official platform before proceeding with any registration or payment.

According to the Board, strict adherence to established admission procedures is necessary to protect candidates and maintain the integrity of Nigeria’s tertiary education admission system.
