The Council of Legal Education has increased the law programme of Osun State University’s admission quota to 120.
A statement by the University’s Public Relations Officer, Ademola Adesoji, on Monday, noted that the accreditation panel of the council had visited Ifetedo Campus of the university in January for re-accreditation exercise on the Law programme with a view to increasing the admission quota.
However, the council granted the increment in a letter dated Thursday, 30th March, 2023, addressed to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor ‘Ayo Clement Adebooye, and signed by the Secretary to the Council and Director of Administration, Mrs Elizabeth Max-Uba.
The letter reads: “The council has approved that the Faculty maintains its provisional accreditation status. It further approved an increase in the admission quota of the Faculty to one hundred and twenty (120) with effect from the date of this letter.”
The increase in quota takes effect with the next intake into the Faculty at 100 level and has no retroactive effect with regards to Law School admission.
