Speaking,
after
announcing
the approval for the establishment of the new private institutions, the Honourable Minister
of Education, Mallam Ibrahim
Shekarau, addressed the issue
of exorbitant tuition fees of private universities. He stated that

The Honourable Minister, however, pledged that the Federal
Government would ensure that
the quality of education in private
universities were of minimum
standards. He added that all federal universities in the country were
tuition-free, even though they were
allowed to charge minimal fees for
some day-to-day activities such as
game fees, union fees and others.

List of Universities with Approved Postgraduate Programmes
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has observed with
great concern that some Nigerian universities are running unapproved
postgraduate programmes, leading to the award of Masters and PhD
degrees. The Commission has also observed that some Parastatals and
Institutes are awarding these same Postgraduate degrees, either on their
own or through unapproved affiliations with Nigerian and foreign
Universities. Such practices are not only unethical, but also antithetical
to time-tested quality assurance best practices. The qualifications/
awards resulting therefrom are not recognized. The Commission
hereby notifies the general public that only the following universities

Ph.D levels in Nigeria, as of 30th July, 2012:
