Full List of Accredited Private Universities in Nigeria (NUC)

In this post, you will have the first hand information about the current list of accredited Private Universities in Nigeria.

Accreditation is done by the National Universities Commission as they are the only organization in Nigeria saddled with that responsibility. Any private university in the country that isn’t accredited is illegal and if found out, would be closed.

Private universities in Nigeria over the years have proved useful competition for federal and public schools in the country. The only difference between them is the cost or better still, the school fees of these academic institution which has been proven to be very expensive.

The only advantage of attending or gaining admission into a private university is that they never go on strike and the quality of education you get is very sound and high. Most at times, the certificates of these institutions are accepted not only in the country but also world wide.

Before we list these schools out, please note that the best private university in Nigeria is Covenant University owned by Bishop Oyedepo.

Presently, below are the accredited private universities in the country and this list is expected to grow in the future.
