The federal government has presented provisional licences to 12 new private universities, which were approved by the Federal Executive Council at its 12th meeting of 2022 held on 6th April.
This brings the number of private universities in Nigeria to 111 and total number of universities to 215.
Presenting the licences to the proprietors in Abuja on Thursday, the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, said as long as the access gap to university education and its attendant enrollment of students into university persists, government will continue to welcome proposals for the establishment of private universities by credible groups and organisations.
