NB: Don’t fall victim to fraudsters, there are so many people claiming their university is approved by the Nigeria Government, most of them are illegal and a lot of people don’t know until they have wasted their time and hard-earned resources before they get to know; we don’t want this to happen to our readers, this is reason we have gone to the Nigeria University Commission (NUC) to obtain the latest list of approved and registered Private Universities in Nigeria. The list we present is the latest list and any private university you can’t find on this list is illegal according to the NUC.
There are so many fake universities in Nigeria and the NUC has released a list containing almost 100 fake (illegal) universities operating in Nigeria, because the list of fake universities keep increasing, that is why we have obtained the listed of registered and fully accredited private universities in Nigeria, so, once again, any Private University you don’t find their name here is fake, don’t fall victim; see the list below:
