Check out this definitive list of the most expensive universities to attend in Nigeria. The table is expectedly filled up by private universities. Over the past five years we’ve seen a
lot of changes in the tuition price of most private universities with
the likes of Madonna, Bowen, Igbinedion which used to be the most
expensive, stabilizing fees majorly due to very stiff competition from
existing competitors and NUC’s licensing of other private universities.
Ironically,
the most expensive private universities are enjoying a good number of
enrollments which the cheaper private universities aren’t getting. This
is because for a private university to enjoy enrollment and thrive it
must either offer Luxury based education or become a centre of academic
excellence.
Luxury based university education is easier and
cheaper to fund. The aim would be to attract students from rich homes
and once admitted they would easily sustain the academic and social life
of the university.
Research based private universities are
harder to acheive because they must keep fees low enough to attract the
intelligent talents from the middle class and keep the fees high enough
to sustain the university. They must also have a strong financial base
which would help fund the academia. By HigherEd
