    I like Nigeria and all its benefits. so I will like to apply to a university of science to study nursing.

    I want to know the reason it is so expensive than other federal schools in Nigeria is it because it is located in Eastern Nigeria and to discourage people from attending the institution? Because we all know what Nigeria federal government and its handlers care about against the easterner and her citizens. I am sure it is difficult for the conspirator to remove the institution otherwise they would have used a quota system to initiate the removal.

    I am curious to know why it is the most costly federal institution in Nigeria federal universities.
