The Nigerian government on Thursday has approved two new private universities, raising the number of Nigerian universities to 274 in the country.

The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman stated this while speaking at the Presentation of Provisional Licences to the universities in Abuja on Thursday

The two approved universities are Lighthouse University, Evbuobanosa, Edo state and the African School of Economics, FCT, brought the number of private universities to 149.

The Minister said the two universities were approved by President Bola Tinubu at the December 13, 2023 Federal Executive Council (FEC).

The minister said that a substantive licence would be issued to the universities three years after the probation only if they met the requirements of quality assurance.

He, therefore, warned that the provision of the licences may be withdrawn after three years probation if they fail to meet the full requirements.

He also charged the proprietors of the universities to capture skills and entrepreneurship which are the

“As you are probably aware, Nigeria currently has the largest economy in Africa with great potential. The country’s population is forecasted to increase up to four hundred million by the year 2050.

“This should therefore evoke a sense of urgency in preparation to cater for the needs of this anticipated population.

“Government being well aware that education holds the key to the preparation we speak of, will continue to welcome partnership with the private sector, especially in the area of university education.

“As long as the gap of access to University education continues to widen and the enrolment of students in excess of the standard carrying capacity of the Nigerian University System persists, government will continue to welcome proposals for the
funding and infrastructural development,” he said.

On quality assurance, Mamman urged the universities to maintain the highest standards in the adoption of best practices.

He advised that upon commencement of academic activities, the universities should sustain funding towards improving infrastructure, equipment for teaching and learning, as well as human resources up to a level that would earn them full accreditation.

On certificate racketeering, he warned that the ministry would go after anyone with fake universities certificates with the wrath of the law.

Earlier, the Acting Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), Chris Maiyaki, said private universities bring certain uniqueness to the Nigerian university landscape.
