List Of Accredited/Approved Universities For Law In Nigeria [Federal, State, Private]

by

If you’re passionate about pursuing a legal career in Nigeria, this information is your golden ticket! The Council of Legal Education (CLE) acts as the gatekeeper for all aspiring lawyers, deciding which universities are qualified to train future legal eagles. To practice law in this vibrant country, attending a CLE-approved law school and then successfully completing the Nigerian Law School program is a must.

But with so many universities offering law degrees, where do you begin? Worry not, future barrister! The CLE has compiled a list of accredited law faculties across Nigeria, ensuring you choose a program that meets their rigorous standards. This list includes both federal and state universities, as well as some private institutions.

Each accredited law school also has an “approved quota,” which basically translates to the number of students they can send to the Nigerian Law School each year. This quota varies depending on the university’s facilities, faculty, and overall performance. So, understanding the quota system helps you choose a school with a good chance of securing a coveted spot at the Nigerian Law School.

Remember, this list is subject to change, so it’s best to check the latest version directly from the CLE website.
