Most Nigerian universities particularly the federal and state-owned schools have been categorized with poor sanitation and environment neglected campuses and generally unattractive for both local and foreign students. The sad realization is that it has been the utmost desire of most Nigerian parents to send their children abroad to school due to the poor facilities in many Nigerian schools, regardless of the high potential educational value Nigerian schools possess. However, with many privately owned universities emerging within the country today, Nigeria now has more standardized schools with good facilities that parents can proudly send their children to even though most of these private schools usually come at a high cost.

Lately with the rising competition, the federal and state universities seem to be picking up the pace to meet the standards the private universities are setting, to the extent that some of these public schools are gradually making the list of Nigeria’s most attractive and eco-friendly universities.
