List of Federal Universities in Nigeria (UPDATED)

As already known, Federal universities are in high demand by admission seekers in Nigeria. However, not all Federal universities are known to prospective candidates. In fact, some may sound federal but they are not.

Below is the list of all degree-awarding Federal institutions as approved and accredited by the National Universities Commissions (NUC).

Applicants can choose any of these in UTME or while changing their institutions.

While some can be considered as the second choice, a majority can only be taken as the first and most preferred. You can check for which is which at your CBT center.
