Lagos State, Nigeria
Lagos state is one of the largest and most populated states in Nigeria. It is located in the South-Western region of Nigeria. Originally, Lagos is a home state of Yoruba people. However, if you’d not be wrong if you call Lagos “Home for all” today.
Lagos was once the national capital of Nigeria. Actually, it was the national capital of Nigeria from 1914 – 1991. It was stripped of that status when the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was established in Abuja. By virtue of this status, Lagos was developed faster and ahead of other states in Nigeria.
Another note-worthy feature of Lagos state is its border with the Atlantic Ocean and the Sea Port there. Also, the state has one of the foremost international airports in Nigeria. By virtue of this, Lagos is the commercial hub of Nigeria.
As the commercial epicenter of the nation, Lagos has attracted people from all walks of life. People currently living in Lagos include international business men, traders, politicians, entrepreneurs, expatriates, etc
Of course, added to the list of the categories of people living in Lagos are the students. These actually form a very large percentage of the population of the state. This is owing to the fact that the state accommodates many educational institutions. There are world-class primary and secondary schools in Lagos. More so, there are polytechnics, colleges of education and universities in the state. Some of these institutions are state owned, others are owned by the federal government. While a good chunk of others are owned and managed by private individuals.
In this article, we shall review all the accredited private universities in Lagos.

Accredited Private Universities in Lagos
Since I have made mention of accreditation, it’d be good if I say one or two things about it here.
Accreditation is the action or process of officially recognizing an institution as being qualified to train and award degrees in different specializations. The body responsible for accreditation of universities in Nigeria is the NUC. NUC is the short for National Universities Commission.
So, as you research about schools to attend, you must look out for those with full accreditation status. This is especially important when it has to do with private universities. Because there are many illegal private universities in Lagos and other states of Nigeria.
It is my job to guide those who follow me on this website so that they do not make avoidable mistakes. Below is a list of the accredited private universities in Lagos.
