Private Universities in Nigeria and Their school fees
There appears to be a measure of bragging rights and arguments among students of private universities in Nigeria. The fever pitch is always, which university pays the highest tuition among these private universities in Nigeria.
This frenzy can be well understood, because, in Nigeria, the more expensive a thing is, the more value it is presumed to have. Private Universities in Nigeria are definitely not left out in this “Nigerian ideology.”
These arguments make you wonder if truly the quality of Education in private institutions is directly proportional to the amount of the school fees paid, but then, you will never know if you have never been to any of these private universities in Nigeria.

Now, dear reader, I ask you, “do you think it is justifiable to pay such amount despite having little or no impact in the country’s research, development and invention of new ideas?”
If you have schooled outside the shores of this country, you would agree with me that the school fees of some of the listed private universities in Nigeria are almost equal to what we get abroad with even a better qualification, better learning environment, and exposure to educational tools and practical sessions.
Despite the fact that few of these schools are in the forefront of the forthcoming academic field and universities, in general, all modern universities in this category deserve praise from all over the world, and rightly so.

These schools were organized to work so that the academic performance of students is improved by standard training Equipment and first-class learning environment.

Since other fees like acceptance fee, hostel accommodation fees, bursary fee, matriculation fee, feeding (this is based on the school) and other hidden fees are not written in the prospectus of some of these schools, it is important to note that 100 level fees are usually high because of the above-mentioned fees, however, what we bring you is the school fees for 1st and 2nd semester put together in the Full List of Private Universities in Nigeria and Their School Fees
