private universities in Nigeria

Nigeria has a wide variety of private universities that provide higher education.

Both public universities and private institutions are subject to the same oversight, regulation and accreditation, which means you will be getting the same quality education regardless of whether you opt for a federal-funded university or a state-funded university or a private institution.

One notable feature with private universities in Nigeria is that payment of tuition fee is a requirement for admission. That is, upon gaining admission, your school fees payment receipt would be needed, that is, a proof of payment of tuition fee by fresh students will be required before you are granted admission unlike public (State and Federal) universities where fees can be paid after gaining admission.

While the public universities still maintain a great standard of learning, private universities In Nigeria boast of a smooth calendar that isn’t hindered by strike action as very well noticed in the public schools.

To many, the only downside to the private system of education in the country is the exorbitant fees and charges which is not easily affordable to everyone but the truth is many of theses private universities have structured a system that makes payment of fees less of burden to parents and guardians. Now fees are being paid in installments unlike in the past where it was designed to be paid in lump-sum. In fact some schools give students the opportunity to break down fees in three (3) installments and some schools allow up to four installment payments
