This post provides a list of all the federal universities in Nigeria that possess full NUC accreditation.

Federal universities are owned and operated by the federal government of Nigeria. That fact, notwithstanding, doesn’t guarantee automatic NUC accreditation.

The National Universities Commission (NUC) ensures that all universities in Nigeria meet certain minimum requirements before granting them full accreditation.
