This article provides the names of the current Vice Chancellors (VCs) for all the universities in Nigeria.
The position of Vice-Chancellor isn’t a permanent one. Some VCs are appointed to take charge for 4 years, 5 years, or even longer, depending on a school’s preference.
We have made it a point of duty to keep track of these changes and update this post to reflect them as soon as possible.
Take note: we gathered this information from the official National Universities Commission (NUC) website to ensure accuracy.
If you are interested in knowing the VC of any University in Nigeria, then obviously, this article is for you.
