Only University of Lagos (UNILAG) has full accreditation to offer Law among public and private universities in the country.

The Council of Legal Education disclosed this in a list of accredited and approved faculties of Law in Nigeria published on Wednesday and signed its Secretary and Director of Administration of the Council.

The accreditation of three universities; Lagos State University, University of Abuja and Benue State University have been suspended.

Twenty seven others have Provisional Accreditation; five have Interim accreditation while 19 others have approval to commence.

According to the Council, Suspended Accreditation means the faculty of Law has its accreditation suspended while those with Interim accreditation are still subject to further accreditation.

The facilities of those given approval to commence still have to be subjected to further verification for Interim Accreditation status.

The Council explained that the accreditation status and approved quotas of recognized faculties was published for the benefit and guidance of the public, parents and students.

Statsocial:
But ABU has higher rating with 280 na while unilag has 270.

ABUAD has higher rating in law than University of Ibadan

Most state Universities in Nigeria are nothing to write home about. They are usually weakly ranked on almost all rankings

Apart from ABUAD and maybe Babcock most other private universities on that list shouldn't be running law yet...

Statsocial:
So with this we can conclude that on average Federal universities are still the best in offering Law in naija.
University of Abuja seems to be the black sheep - it is clearly a badly run university.

writerights:


I have never heard a good news from uni Abuja. The school should just be converted to a tutorial centre and save candidates the burden of running several programmes yet to be accredited.

writerights:
Statsocial, I still feel school with below 150 shouldn't even run the programme. They make life miserable for their students by dishing them extremely poor grades. Unfortunately, their gullible students still believe the poorer their grades are, the better product they become after graduation.

Apparently, the numbers are for max number of students that can be admitted.

Please who knows if Linguistics is accredited in Uniabuja?
