List of universities in Nigeria
Nigeria is organised into 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.As a result of the oil boom years of the 1970s, tertiary level of education was expanded to reach every sub-region of Nigeria.[1][2] The federal and state governments were previously the only bodies licensed to operate universities.Recently, licenses have been granted to individuals, corporate bodies and religious bodies to establish private universities in the country.The National Universities Commission[3][4] (NUC) is the major accreditation and regulatory body that enforces uniform standard and sets admissions capacity of every Nigerian university.
