Don’t fall victim to fraudsters, there are so many people claiming their university are approved by the Nigeria Government, most of them are illegal Universities (un-approved by the Nigerian Government) and a lot of people don’t know until they have wasted their time and hard-earned resources before they get to know; we don’t want this to happen to our readers, this is the reason we have gone to the Nigeria University Commission (NUC) to obtain the latest list of approved and registered Private Universities in Nigeria. The list we present is the latest list and any private university you can’t find on this list is illegal according to the NUC. The NUC listing shows there are presently 79 Private Universities in Nigeria.
If you want to study law in Nigeria, here is the list of the Best Universities to study Law in Nigeria, the list consist of both Private and Government Universities. If you want to study medicine, then you should check the list of the Best Universities in Nigeria to study Medicine
There are so many fake universities in Nigeria and the NUC has released a list containing almost 100 fake universities operating in Nigeria, because the list of fake universities keep increasing, that is why we have obtained the listed of registered and fully accredited private universities in Nigeria, so, once again, any Private University you cant their name here is fake, don’t fall victim; see the list below:
