In an exciting development that’s set to revolutionize Nigeria’s education landscape, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given the thumbs-up to the establishment of two new federal universities. This landmark move is expected to significantly boost access to quality education, drive research and innovation, and propel Nigeria’s economic growth ¹.
The two new universities are:
– Federal University of Agriculture and Development Studies, located in Iragbiji, Osun State
– Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences, situated in Iyin Ekiti, Ekiti State
These specialized institutions will serve as training grounds for developing agriculture, science, and technology professionals, ultimately enhancing Nigeria’s competitiveness in the global economy. With this development, Nigeria’s federal university count now rises to 65, complementing the existing 63 state universities and 149 private universities ¹.
President Tinubu’s approval is a testament to his administration’s commitment to education and economic development. This move is expected to have a positive ripple effect on the country’s education sector, providing more opportunities for Nigerian youths to access quality education and pursue their dreams.
