In Nigeria, there are over 150 universities, and more than half of them are private. In the past, private universities were considered inferior to public universities.
However, things have changed, and today private universities are the preferred choice for many students. This is because Private universities do not follow the academic calendar affected by strikes and interruptions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Private universities in Nigeria are more expensive, with tuition fees about ten times higher than those of public universities. Despite the cost, private universities offer high-quality education, and their graduates have a better chance of finding immediate employment compared to most public university graduates.
