The management of Kwara State University (KWASU), located in Malete, Kwara State, has responded to a viral social media post alleging that the Council of Legal Education (CLE) has suspended admissions for its Law programme due to a lack of necessary accreditation. The post also urged prospective students to reconsider their choice of institution.
In a press statement, KWASU categorically affirmed that its two undergraduate Law programmes—Common Law and Common and Islamic Law—are fully accredited by both the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the CLE. The university began its Law programmes with NUC's approval in the 2018/2019 academic year and obtained full accreditation from both regulatory bodies in 2021.
Furthermore, the university emphasized its commitment to complying with the CLE's admission quota, admitting only 50 students across the 2021/2022, 2022/2023, 2023/2024, and the ongoing 2024/2025 academic sessions.
KWASU holds the CLE in high regard and has consistently upheld the standards set forth by both accreditation bodies. The management urges the public to disregard the misleading claims regarding the status of its Law programmes.
Dr. Kikelomo W. Sallee, the Registrar of KWASU, reiterated the university's dedication to maintaining the quality of legal education and ensuring its programmes meet all necessary accreditation standards.
