The National Universities
Commission (NUC), has disclosed that it is currently processing over 200 applications
for new private universities in the country.
The Executive Secretary of the
Commission, Abubakar Rasheed, made this known in Abuja during a meeting with
the federal universities’ bursars.
According to him, “the university
system is growing and private universities including federal and state
universities can no longer cope with the large numbers of yearly applications
for admission.
“Nigeria has 153 universities, 40 are federal
universities, 45 are state owned universities and 68 are private universities
presently in the country,” he said.
It could be recalled that the NUC
had earlier provided a list of all illegal universities operating in
Nigeria; warning parents, guardians and students to be aware of the
universities it listed who are awarding illegal degrees to unsuspecting
students.
