I don't think this data is right.
Because I know NKST university Mka is a private university.
I don't know about other states tho......

That said.
I don't think the number of institutions should actually be our focus.
The quality should be the issue.
We had better baked graduates when we had lesser number of universities in the country.
Now we have graduates who can't even put together a CV or write an employment application letter.

When you have sat in an interview with these graduates you would be surprised that people talk about unemployment, because the truth is that the youths are unemployable.....

It's heartbreaking to see today that SSCE holders 20years ago are better educated than university graduates today.
People, esp those on this Forum interpret data/statistics literally without knowing the technicalities in there.

Northern Nigeria shouldn't be having conventional universities. The should have universities that focus on agriculture. The problem of our universities is that they aren't built to solve local problems. That's why places like Katsina have a maritime university
how can Katsina have maritime academy are you sure? But Katsina have no access to the Atlantic Ocean how will they conduct practical aspects of the maritime
