The Council of Legal Education has increased the admission quota of the Bola Ajibola College of Law into the Nigerian Law School from 70 to 120, effective from the 2026/2027 academic session, following a successful accreditation exercise.
The development was announced by the Vice-Chancellor of Crescent University, Professor Ibraheem Gbajabiamila, who disclosed that the increased quota followed the positive outcome of an accreditation visit by the Council of Legal Education.
According to the university, the decision was conveyed in a letter dated April 24, 2026, signed by the Secretary to the Council and Director of Administration, Aderonke Osho.
The accreditation team, led by the Director-General of the Nigerian Law School, Dr Olugbemisola Titilayo Odusote, visited the institution in February 2026 to assess key operational areas including staffing strength, admission processes, library resources and physical infrastructure.
The team reportedly commended several facilities within the college, including its law library, e-library, lecturers’ offices, staff and students’ common rooms, auditorium, law clinic and faculty vehicles, describing the institution’s facilities and human resources as impressive.
The increased quota is expected to significantly expand opportunities for law graduates of the institution seeking admission into the Nigerian Law School for professional legal training.
The university noted that the college has continued to record strong academic and professional performances, with several of its graduates earning first-class honours both at Crescent University and at the Nigerian Law School.
Students of the college have also distinguished themselves in major local and international legal competitions. Among its recent achievements is participation in the 31st Vis Moot Court Arbitration Competition and the International Bar Association/International Criminal Court Moot Competition, where students represented the institution at global legal advocacy contests.
The Vice-Chancellor also highlighted the accomplishment of final-year law student, Mujeebat Idris, who won the seventh edition of the Alao Adavise National Essay Competition on privacy and data protection.
Her winning essay, titled “The Invisible Audience: Can Online Platforms Safeguard Youth Privacy?”, emerged best among over 300 entries submitted by participants across the country.
University authorities described the latest quota increase as another milestone in Crescent University’s drive to strengthen legal education and sustain its reputation for academic excellence and professional distinction.
