Years back, Government institutions use to be the best but are
no longer making any sense.. Today na strike, Tommorow na
fight, Next tomorrow na Protest.. I lie? Seun...

Here are some reasons to attend a private university


1. A definite graduation date:

Unlike public institutions which are prone to strikes, in a
private university there’s no possibility of a strike. Atleast 6
government universities have currently been shut down in
Nigeria right now. University of Ibadan, UNILAG, UNIPORT, AAU, KSU etc are currently shut down.
This will lengthen the duration of time you are to spend on a program.
Crime rate by students of these institutions have increased because they are now idle. Some of my friend in
Fountain University, Osogbo in 2014 countdown from 112 to their Graduation day.. Guess what? They graduated on the exact day they had previously calculated, Try that in a public school, You will add another 300 days to make it work.

2. It’s safer:

No cult clashes, no protests. You won’t live in fear of some
cult members or students vandalizing properties in the nameof protests. One of the biggest undoings of public universities is Cultism… Which has claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people and cult members respectively.
However, students in private universities are safe from the fear of a cult attack.

Protests are also very violent these days. Just the way it
happened in UNILAG and UNIPORT where lots of properties were destroyed and some lives were in fact lost, in a private school there’s no chance for that.

3. A faster syllabus:

It takes just about 4 years to complete a 5 year program in
private schools. However public schools have a slower
academic calendar. Even without the strikes, the calendar of a private school is usually faster than that of a public school.

4. A more concentrated learning process:

In private schools, special attention is given to every student of the school. The lecturers all have a duty to pay special attention to each and everyone of the student and put them through their lacks. This way your flaw is easily detected and will be dealt with appropriately. However in public schools especially with the size and population, it is impossible for this to happen.
The school have almost no personal relationship with the students and they are not aware of any
personal psychological needs of the students.

5. Better welfare:

The individual welfare of the students are catered for. The
accommodation is way better than you get in hostels of
public schools. Most times they have no light or water
problems. The condition of their hostels and classes is way better too. Even in general courses you won’t see them running to catch sits because everyone gets to sit down comfortable.
With the welfare learning is made a lot easier
because you will be less strained.

6. Better Moral Training:

The university is the melting point of all moral standards.
There’s no form of anti-moral behaviour you wouldn’t find in a university. However, private universities, with their very strict enforcement of moral values, have reduced the decay in moral values by far.

7. Superior real world experience and laboratory:

Most private universities are not just well equiped but super
equiped. Covenant university, Babcock university and Afe
babalola uniniversity combined easily dwarfs all public
federal and state universities combined in laboratory
equipment standard and volume or availability per student. I
am pretty sure it will remain same if all state schools are
added to public schools while other private universities are
added to the mentioned schools.

8. Organized system:
In private systems. You get your transcripts easily. In public
univerisites the reverse is the case 40% of the time. Same
pattern holds for Jamb regularization, NYSC call-up and
result checking.

9. No Lecturers Threat:

You hardly see or hear about Lecturers harassing ladies in
Private institutions or hear about Lecturer threatening to Fail
you or not allow you Graduate. Come down to Public
institutions, A Lecturer can make you fail for using
Blackberry Q10 while he’s using Blackberry bold 5.
A Lecturer told my friend he won’t graduate just because he
drives Honda EOD, said he’s using the same car with the
HOD.. Can you imagine?
