The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Education, has initiated the formation of an inter-ministerial committee to investigate the activities of private and foreign universities operating in Nigeria. The committee includes members such as the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Minister of Youths, Jamila Bio-Ibrahim, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, among others.

One of the committee’s key terms of reference is to examine private universities established in the last 15 years. The focus is on assessing whether these institutions have the required facilities, appropriate management structures, adequate funding for programs, and the necessary staff (full-time, contract, adjunct, visiting, among other types). The National Universities Commission (NUC) periodically conducts accreditation exercises, but this additional scrutiny aims to ensure compliance with specific criteria.

[b]Nigeria currently has a total of 147 private universities, as indicated on the NUC website. Analysis reveals that 107 of these private universities were established within the last 15 years. As a result, this article by PUNCH online will highlight the private universities established in the last 15 years that may come under the scrutiny of the Federal Government’s investigative panel.

Hahanaja

Why not investigate and fund the public universities first

Karl-Kumm University, Vom, Plateau State that's having tribal issues and affecting it's startup despite getting license for 2years. It's owned by COCIN (CHURCH OF CHRIST IN NIGERIA)

U never know anything, keep on establishing them, even state universities need to be investigated. We are heading to a situation in which "school cert" would be lecturing university students.

Ondo ,Kogi, Edo have 3 universities each, what are they doing with such homongus number of universities? Every gov wants to bring university to his home town.

Is it more universities will need or jobs for graduates from that universities?

Una Don chuk jamb registrar.... Wahala for fake certificate awarding universities oh

This is serious but I'm happy with this new development

Okkk

What about Chicago State University??

Like this post if you are happy you attended Federal University.


No wahala for you in all this

Wahala

This is seriously serious. Wetin be this . Na JuJu be that. ??

147 private universities in Nigeria, this is a joke taken to far. Even the some of these universities are not supposed to be . The private universities in the north, where are they getting students?? The one at supare, a small town in ondo state, where are they getting students. ? Nawaoo.

This BAT era, na investigation everywhere

Most of those universities settings worse pass secondary school settings.

What about Chicago state university

Omo federal government no won gree this year...

Another avenue to spend our money.

Honestly, most private universities and polytechnics are business arenas. They are after money , then dishes out half baked graduates to the society.

University by name, tutorial centres by operation.

FG have you looked at Federal and state universities ? Charity begins at home.
Nigerian universities!!! Their problem worse pass...

I smh for baze sha…

That shouldn't be the only thing you should see here bro. Investigating these institutions and closing those found wanting will definitely save future students from making the mistake of schooling there.

Sermwell:

Get sense now 😳😳. Haba. Na new year we dy ooo

I never said they shouldn't be investigated. We already have investigative institutions. We don't need new panels that require millions to seat in the name of investigations. Federal government panels are usually expensive and often times without positive impact.

good one especially those church universities

Thank God for unbiased global ranking bodies.

Dem for tell us sey all the private unifasiti na wash.
