List of State Universities In Nigeria & Year of Establishment | www.nuc.edu.ng
The universities in the 36 states in Nigeria are listed below. 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory make up Nigeria’s organizational structure. The 1970s oil boom years led to the expansion of tertiary education into every sub-region of Nigeria.
The National Universities Commission (NUC) is the principal accrediting and governing agency that upholds uniform standards and establishes the admissions capacity for each institution in Nigeria.
Although many earn a substantial income from tuition and fees, donations (from alumni or philanthropists), and royalties, the majority of state universities in Nigeria (including Universities of Technology, Universities of Agriculture, and Universities of Education) receive at least a portion of their funding from the government.
