Which University is the Best in Nigeria?

According to Data, University of Ibadan is currently the best university in Nigeria. With 41,723 Students, the University of Ibadan is the best tertiary institution in Nigeria as it stands. UI was founded in 1948 and it remains the top citadel of learning for Undergraduates.

 

There are several options to consider when looking to apply for admission into any Nigerian university. Have in mind the possibility of ASUU Strike if you’re looking to apply to a Federal University. Usually, the best option is to go for a State University or a Private Owned University.

 

The National Universities Commission is the body charged with the regulation of Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria. You can check NUC Accredited Universities in this article. 49 Federal Universities are accredited as it stands. Read more here https://www.nuc.edu.ng/nigerian-univerisities/federal-univeristies/.
