Private Universities in Nigeria and Their Tuition Fees – Private universities in Nigeria are more numerous than the combination of state and federal institutions present in Nigeria. Yet despite the huge number, the number of students present in a private institution is not up to the number of students in the state and federal universities in Nigeria due to several reasons.
First of all, the cost to study in a private institution can be quite expensive in contrast to their state and federal counterparts the tuition fee for an academic year in some private universities is enough to sponsor a student in a federal university throughout his or her five years of study and still set him or her up for business.
However, some private universities are quite affordable. Also, a lot of students however have the stereotype that a private university is more like an advanced secondary school. They believe a private university allows students to be over-monitored and over-pampered and even not given freedom in Nigeria.
In this article, we would be listing the private universities in Nigeria.
