Federal Universities In Nigeria & Courses

Many candidates out of desperation to get into the University by all means and sometimes ignorance get admission into Federal Tertiary Institutions that have not been accredited by the National Universities Commission. In the end, NUC gets to know about this universities and scrap them, the universities become helpless and leave the helpless students unattached to a university and back to “square one”. 

I don’t want you to fall into this mess, so I have compiled a list comprising of all Federal Universities Accredited by NUC as at March 2022.

The list comprises of the names of the Federal Universities in Nigeria, their Vice Chancellors, Official websites (very important to get latest information about the schools) and the year the schools were established.

The list has been there on the NUC Official website and always updated by the NUC when due. Always check with them so that you don’t apply to a non-accredited University. This list is also useful when you need to get information from a federal university, you can consult the list to find their website and get whatever you need to get there.

I wish you all the best in your education.
