The approval of the universities according to the NUC boss is meant to address the growing youth population of admission seekers in Nigeria.


''Only 19 percent of the 2 million students who applied to university were accepted last year, with about 30 percent either going abroad or pursuing vocational studies.

''This is a very serious situation – 1 million students do not get access to university not because they have failed their exams, but because the capacity [to admit them] is not there,”

“It is a dangerous thing to have this problem of frustrated youths who are left out on the streets,” he said.

However, according to NUC most of the yet-to-be-approved private universities are specialist institutions, such as private medical schools and creative arts colleges.
