Most applicants prefer Federal universities for
obvious reasons of cost, infrastructure and capacity
There is an increasing interest in State universities
Still, Private Universities are yet to attract
considerable number of applicants due to cost of
tuition
BUDGETARY ALLOCATION
According to the University of Lagos Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rahamon
Bello, government allocation should be according to Studentship. He
urged the Federal Government (FG) to replace the blanket funding of
universities with “per cost to training a student”.
“Universities will enjoy relative autonomy and become more focused if
they receive funds per student in their institutions and the funds would
be more efficiently utilized for the core businesses of the institutions”.
The funds made available by the FG were below the UNESCO
recommendation, the University of Lagos had increased funding from
N5.4bn in 2009 to N9.9bn in 2013. If the proposed arrangement holds,
Prof. Bello said, the university would receive N13bn from the Federal
Government for a student population of 27,876.

Current allocation does not reflect the reality Prof. Bello expects. While we
must acknowledge that most schools are currently underfunded and it is
unlikely that the BIG5 would get lesser allocation even though the likes of
UNILORIN and UNIZIK have surpassed them in terms of application, there is
need to increase allocation to all institutions as well as provide incentives for
those that enjoy high patronage.
GUIDANCE FOR PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES
Some candidates would rather attend the likes of UNILAG, UNN, OAU, UI, etc.
or no other. Truth be told, the BIG5 still holds the reputation as the foremost
Nigerian Ivy League universities. Being the first sets of universities to be
established before and almost at independence, they enjoyed some attention
and investment from previous governments and this reflected in the kind of
graduates they produced.
However, times have changed and other schools are equally producing
results. Particularly, the Private universities have remain tops in the Presidential
Special Scholarship Scheme for Innovation and Development (PRESSID).
Covenant University alone topped the list of successful candidates with 19, out
of the 200, that would benefit in PRESSID 2nd edition.
It is also important to note that Admission Rate in those most sough-after
universities are very low compared to others. For instance, UNILORIN with
over 100,000 applicants, how many Students can they really admit? Therefore,
candidates should consider schools with credibility and some industry
recommendation/reputation, most especially schools that meets the exact
reason why you want to study the course you have chosen!
