Nigeria has gone from just 49 universities in 1999 to nearly 300 today. On the surface, this sounds like progress—but is it really? In this episode of the Franktalknow Podcast, Dr. Olabisi Deji-Folutile takes a hard look at Nigeria’s higher education system and asks whether building more universities is solving our problems or making them worse.
From chronic underfunding and inadequate infrastructure to brain drain and watered-down standards, existing institutions are already buckling under pressure. Yet, over 200 fresh bills to establish new universities are before the National Assembly. Is this expansion about education—or politics?
We also compare Nigeria’s situation with global models, including China and the United States, to understand what truly makes a higher education system thrive.
Tune in as we unpack the numbers, controversies, and consequences behind Nigeria’s university boom—and what it means for the future of students, lecturers, and the nation itself.
