List Of Private Universities in Nigeria

Related

Private universities in Nigeria are now the gateway to quality, fast education for prospective undergraduates who intend, by all means, to avoid the hassles and poor situations found in federal or government-owned universities. While they are fast, stick to academic and never go on strike, private universities are governed with strict rules that could see any student out or expelled if any of those rules are violated.

Owing to the ineffectiveness and the horrible attention the federal government turn towards federal universities, some politicians, Christian missions or churches, celebrities, clergymen or pastors and socialites have chosen to exploit the weakness of the government by establishing private universities as ways to make quick and near-forever money.

A major disadvantage of private universities in Nigeria is their draconian laws that are clear flagrant disregard for rights of the students. Some of these schools prohibit their students from coming into their premises with smartphones, tablets, and other tech gadgets. The ones governed or controlled by churches or missions often make assembly-like gatherings in “chapels” extremely compulsory that missing such religious gatherings could spell trouble for the students involved.

Another clear disadvantage of private schools in Nigeria is their tuition fees which can go high as one million Naira for regular departments and nearly or more than two million Naira for health science courses. Their high tuition fees automatically rule out prospective undergraduates whose parents are not rich or wealthy enough to avoid such fees.
