Are you a prospective university student? Do not make a mistake of applying to a university not approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC). The implication of such mistake is that, certificates issue to students/graduates by such schools will not be recognized within and outside Nigeria. Ever wondered why many graduates cannot be enrolled for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)? It is no longer secret that lots of private universities spread across Nigeria do not have accreditation or license from NUC to operate.
Unfortunately, many students have fallen victims by seeking admission into such schools. This has prompted us to make a comprehensive compilation of private universities in Nigeria licensed by NUC. Other important components of the list include locations, year established, official websites addresses of the academic institutions.
