Federal Government to Investigate 107 Private Universities

Abuja, Nigeria — The Federal Government has announced plans to investigate 107 private universities across the country, citing concerns about compliance with educational standards and operational guidelines. The initiative aims to ensure that institutions uphold quality in teaching, infrastructure, and student welfare.

The Ministry of Education stated that the review will cover accreditation status, curriculum delivery, and compliance with national regulations. Authorities emphasized that the move is not punitive but intended to safeguard the interests of students and parents.

“We are committed to ensuring that every university, public or private, meets the standards necessary to provide quality education to Nigerians,” a government spokesperson said.

Educational experts have welcomed the initiative, noting that consistent monitoring is essential to maintain academic standards. Parents and students are encouraged to cooperate with regulatory agencies during the review process to facilitate transparency.
