School Fees of Private Universities in Nigeria (2024)

School Fees 2 Comments

Gone are the days when people see students of private universities as inferior and on low academic class compared to students of Federal or state universities. Private universities in Nigeria have not only stepped up their games academically, they are gradually taking over from even the best Federal universities. It is no luck; the hard work these private institutions have put into their development is evident in every way; from the calibre of teaching and non-teaching staff they recruit to the general level and style of teaching and training their students, you can only but admire these schools.

Although there are still few of these schools living at the shadows of expected level of academic and overall standard of academics, most of the modern day universities in this category have earned praise from all over the world, and deservedly so. These schools have been structured to function in a way as to enhance students’ academic performances with standard training equipment and top notch learning environment.

Unlike Federal and State Universities, one can be rest assured of a smooth running of academic calendar without fear of internal or general strike. This has been a core factor in the development of Private Universities. Few decades back, Private Universities were not regarded as top Universities and most of the students were seen as opportunist, it was either they were not “good enough for Federal Universities” or they were just too rich to waste their time. Those times, no Private universities were among the top 30 Higher Institutions in Nigeria. These believes and mind sets have been quenched though with at least two Private Universities featuring in the top 10 universities in Nigeria according to the lasts list released by the NUC. Private Universities are no a dream for most Nigerian students, although the fees are still a constant issue they have to deal with.

No doubt, the most controversial issue as regards Private Universities till date is the amount students pay as tuition fees and registration. While some will argue that these fees are worth it based on the level of education and general life in and around the universities, some till believe the fees are outrageous and should be reduced. Irrespective of diverse opinions though, Private Universities are on the rise and could in little or no time, erase the memories of Federal and state universities in Nigeria.
