Accredited Universities In Nigeria By NUC

Presently, there are 222 universities in Nigeria which include 60 Federal, 63 State, and 99 Private Universities according to the National Universities Commission (NUC). These institutions have their various undergraduate admission requirements which are based on UTME scores and WASSCE results for all the courses offered in Nigerian Universities.

For the sake of my readers, I have decided to give you the list of accredited schools by NUC and their official websites.  Out of all the 222, some institutions are top-ranking universities in Nigeria and globally.
