Management of the Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, Kwara state, has debunked a viral social media post stating that the Council of Legal Education (CLE) suspended admission of students into the Law programme of the university, for admitting and graduating law students without obtaining the necessary accreditation from the Council.
It is recalled that the social media post equally called on students who may have applied to study Law at the university to change their institution of choice.
However, in a statement by the registrar of the state university, Dr Kikelomo Sallee, the management of the institution said that the two (2) Undergraduate Law programmes of the university, Common Law and Common and Islamic Law, are fully accredited by both the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Council of Legal Education (CLE).
The statement reads, “For the avoidance of doubt, the Law programmes of KWASU received NUC’s approval to commence the programmes in the 2018/2019 academic year and secured full accreditation for the programmes in 2021. The University also secured accreditation from the Council of Legal Education in 2021.
“Since securing the Council’s accreditation in 2021, KWASU has strictly abided by the admission quota of fifty (50) students in the 2021/2022, 2022/2023, 2023/2024, and the current 2024/2025 sessions.
“Kwara State University holds the Council of Legal Education in very high esteem, especially in its commitment to upholding the standard of legal education, and has, thus, been very mindful of the provisions of the accreditation granted to the University.
“The public is, therefore, to note that the Law programmes of Kwara State University, Malete, are fully accredited by the two regulatory bodies of the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Council of Legal Education (CLE).”
