I can only, for now, speak with some authority about the University of Ghana and the KNUST.
At the University of Ghana, law is a 2-year postgraduate course. It does not really matter in which subjects the degree is. But one needs to get a good GPA. I believe you generally must have a 2:1 or 1. Not sure about a 2:2 but I will check on that.
The 3-stage process involves an application form, a written exam and interview (for short-listed people).
At the KNUST, law is a course for both undergrads (4 years) and postgrads (3 years). For postgrads, I reckon the qualification is pretty much similar to the University of Ghana, though I do not believe they have an interview system. For undergrads, a good qualification from your SSSCE is what you require.
I will try and find out about Zenith College and provide information on that.

Multiple Signatures
Primarily a person's signature is their name or other identifier written in their own hand. Of course, many prefer to write out some or all of their names in some obscure fashion to make it difficult to duplicate. As a result, a person could have as many signatures as they are able to change their handwriting.
A signature (from Latin signare, "to sign") is a handwritten (and sometimes stylized) depiction of someone's name, nickname or even a simple "X" that a person writes on documents as a proof of identity and intent (Credit: Wikipedia).
Whether a person has one distinct signature or several of them is not as important as the intent with which a person uses different signatures. If a person is under suspicion of trying to hide their identity or of committing fraud, then the fact that they have different signatures may be seen as circumstantial evidence of their intent to hide their identity or to commit a crime.
Many people do have at least 2 signatures - one for their daily endeavours and one for some other purpose (e.g. banking). I have personally been witness a bank asking a customer to simplify his signature as it was difficult for them to ascertain its genuineness if it was too complex!
Having more than one signature is not of itself any less legal than having different names. The critical matter is the reason why a person has more than one signature and the uses to which the signatures are put. If a person has more than one signature, it is good that they have a group or groups of people who know and recognise each signature as belonging to that person.
