Ogun State has both private and government owned higher universities which is in addition to already existing primary and secondary schools. Like other states, Ogun State recognizes that education is key to development hence the need for collaboration with the private sector for more higher educational institutions (Universities) to meet the educational demands of the already teeming population in the state.
Every academic session, students apply for admission so the need for schools that fall within their catchment area becomes necessary. This means that if you are from Ogun state, you will most often choose schools that fall within your catchment area because this gives you an edge in the admission selection process hence the increase in the search for schools in Ogun state.
In this article, I will briefly discuss the application process for each university on the list of schools in Ogun state that has been licensed and authorized by the National Universities Commission (NUC). If you’re searching for universities in Ogun State, a generic search for “universities in Ogun State” won’t do.
Here you’ll find both public and private Ogun State universities, as well as any Federal universities in the state. For the simple reason that the federal government has implemented a catchment area policy, which means that residents of a state who live outside of the catchment area cannot attend a federal university located within their own state, not all states have federal universities.
