Federal, State, Private Universities Offering Nutrition and Dietetics in Nigeria

When seeking admission to universities, Nutrition and Dietetics has been one of the best choices for candidates in UTME/DE or when changing their institutions and/or courses.

Nutrition and dietetics play an important role in Nigeria, where malnutrition is a significant public health concern. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 10 million children under the age of 5 in Nigeria are malnourished, with stunting rates as high as 37%.

To address this issue, Nigeria has a well-established system of nutrition and dietetics education, with several universities offering undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the field. The Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) regulates the curriculum for nutrition and dietetics courses, which typically cover topics such as biochemistry, physiology, food science, and public health.

Similarly, Nutrition and Dietetics may have different variations in the universities. Hence, below is the list of the naming scheme by various universities listed in this post.

1. Nutrition and Consumer Services
2. Food Science and Nutrition
3. Nutrition and Dietetics
4. Human Nutrition
5. Human Nutrition and Dietetics
6. Home Science Nutrition & Dietetics

With the names above, if you're to choose this course in JAMB, you shouldn't be confused. They literally mean the same or just a little variance.
