In Okada, Nigeria, the first private university was founded in 1999. Igbinedion University was its name. Since then, the Tertiary Education industry in Nigeria has essentially been taken over by private educators and investors.
However, as a result of the nation’s economic reality, the cost of operating these private institutions is rising dramatically. It’s understandable that private institutions in Nigeria have recently become highly pricey. However, the cost of high-quality education is prohibitive everywhere in the globe.
