List of All Federal Universities in Nigeria
So we have gone through the pain of compiling a list of all private universities in Nigeria as well as state universities in Nigeria…we all know the list is incomplete without a list of all federal universities in Nigeria.
Federal Universities are no doubt the most recognized universities in Nigeria. Despite the many problems associated with it, most young Nigerians end up choosing them for many obvious reasons. For starters, they give liberty and free will unlike private universities that require compulsory religious gathering in some while smartphones, devices or gadgets are strictly forbidden in some.
Unlike the two previously discussed, federal universities in Nigeria are controlled and funded by the Federal government.
Well, the essence of this post is to list all federal universities in Nigeria. So, here goes…
How many Federal Universities are in Nigeria?
Presently, there are 43 Federal universities in Nigeria.
