TOP 20 UNIVERSITIES IN NIGERIA

Nigeria is a nation blessed with so many tertiary institutions spread across the 36 states of the federation.

Some states can boast of having as much as 18  higher institutions of learning.

Due to the poor governments efforts in providing quality

education to everyone, the standard of these institutions have

been either poor, dilapidated or at most averagely managed.

But a few of these institutions have decided to fight different odds and hold unto the once surreal standard they had when they were created initially.

Most federal schools was established at the pre-colonial and military era.

They had the great influence of the whites in obvious aspects like architecture, standard and even location. A few private institutions were created in the early 2000’s and can now compete on world stages.

Below is the list of the top 10 universities we have in Nigeria presently:

  1. University of Lagos
  2. University of Ibadan
  3. University of Nigeria
  4. Obafemi Awolowo University
  5. Covenant University
  6. Ahmadu Bello University
  7. Landmark University
