Top 101 Best Universities In Nigeria 2020/2021 [Latest Edition]

This article presents the Best/Top Universities in Nigeria to study. currently, Nigeria has 152 universities registered and approved by the Nigeria University Commission (NUC), Although there are so many Universities claiming to be approved and registered in Nigeria especially the private ones, that is the reason the NUC has come out clearly to list all approved Universities in Nigeria, the List shows there are currently 43 Federal Universities, 52 State universities and 79 Private Universities in Nigeria. 

The main issue here is that everybody wants to attend the best university in Nigeria or at least one of the top 10 Universities Nigeria, hence, the reason for ranking universities base on merit (how they perform and what they offer). Please note that Best Universities does not rank Universities, rather, we rely on the lists released by the NUC (The Nigeria University Commission); Times Higher Education World University Ranking (they are the world’s number one body for ranking Universities), QS World University Rankings, U.S. News & World Report Best Global University Ranking, Academic Ranking of World Universities, and The Reuters Top 100: The World’s Most Innovative Universities; we also have the List from “Webometrics Ranking of World Universities” (Webometrics is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain. Please note that the NUC has not released their ranking for 2019, hence, we have omitted the old list it released since it may not reflect the present performance of the Universities. So we have the list of 100 top Universities in Nigeria, best Universities in Nigeria and the very best University in Nigeria.
