10 Best States Universities In Nigeria & Their School Fees | University Ranking.
In recent Nigeria University ranking, State universities in Nigeria are gradually taking their places in
the university rankings in Nigeria and are competing with their Federal
counterparts. Gone are the days when students upon registration for
their UTME put them as second choice of preferred institution.
Universities
are the ideal places and environments of learning in anywhere in the
world so basic facilities that aids learning process must be put in
place. There are 36 states across the country so fighting to be
recognized among the top 10 best state universities in Nigeria takes
more than just having credible lecturers. Most states in Nigeria have
their universities either tied to their names or a prominent and heroic
personality from the state.
I have been to a couple of them. In
this article, trying to list the top ten(10) best state universities in
Nigeria and their school fees will not be an easy task to conduct.
Some
of these state universities are very popular like their Federal
counterparts while others are just modest places of learning if you are
hoping to pursue a degree in any field of study. There are many things
that must be taken into cognizance if you want to apply to any of the
best states universities in Nigeria as seen on this list.
Then you
need to settle for nothing less than the top ten. The other alternative
would be for a private universities. I understand the fact that not
everyone can attend a private university. So state universities are
where we can reach.
However, I must caution you here as the state
universities are not the same as their federal counterparts. Federal
universities in Nigeria beat the states. I am writing from the little
experience I have and NUC (Nigeria University Commission) overall
comparison in the past 5 years. Most of our federal university lecturers
still lecture at the state level. Yes they sometimes joggle their jobs!
Our top 10 best state universities for 2017/2018 were chosen by two major factors which are by rankings and by popularity.
I
never arranged them but just listed them as I discovered that its
easier this way. I believe that you will find the best state
universities in Nigeria useful.
In no particular order:
1. Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST)

withing the range of N25,000 to 27,000 for indigenous students and
double the amount for non-indigenous students.

are the days of recurrent strikes by students and lecturers, Today Lasu
stands as one of the top 10 best state universities in Nigeria.

3. Plateau State University (PLASU)

says the middle belters are not educationally sound? they boast of some
of the best lecturers in various disciplines which automatically ranks
the institution as one of the best state universities in Nigeria.

100,000 Naira.
4. Ambrose Ali University Ekpoma Edo state

their speedy academic calendar and professors in various fields, not

student is N77,500, while Partime is N78,000.
7. Delta State University, Abraka
Located
in the south-south region of Nigeria, by all standards DELSU being
located in the oil rich region of Nigeria is supposed to be regarded as
the best state university in Nigeria but due to mismanagement of the
resources by the state government, the supposed budget for education in
Delta state is tampered with thereby affecting allocation to the
university, nothwithstanding it still ranks among the top 10 best state
universities in Nigeria. Delsu school fees for Indigenes is between
25,000 – 28,000 while Non-Indigenes pay between 50,000 to 65,000 Naira.
8. Ogun State University
