List of Private Universities In Nigeria & Year of Establishment | www.nuc.edu.ng
There are several different private universities in Nigeria that offer higher education. You will receive the same quality education whether you choose a federally funded university, a state-supported university, or a private institution since both public and private institutions are subject to the same monitoring, regulation, and accreditation.
Private universities can now be established in the nation thanks to licenses issued to private citizens, corporate entities, and religious organizations.
