State Universities in Nigeria

In Nigeria, a state university is one of the public universities funded by or associated with the state government.

Most state universities in Nigeria (including Universities of Technology, Universities of Agriculture and Universities of Education) receive at least part of their funding from the state, although many have substantial income from tuition and fees, donations (such as from alumni or philanthropists) and revenue from royalties.
