A definite graduation date



This is the first on the list of advantages of private universities in

Nigeria. Unlike public universities which are prone to strikes,

Nigerian private universities have very little to no possibility of a

strike. It is very common to hear that government or public

universities are on strike or shut down in Nigeria. The downside to

this is that the duration of time students is to spend on a program is

lengthened. Other major disadvantages include the increase in crime

rate by students of these institutions due to idleness. In a private

university, you can accurately calculate the exact day you will

graduate but you cannot do the same with a public school because

unexpected strikes can happen.



It’s safer



In private universities, you will hardly hear of cult clashes, riots,

and protests. Students can afford not to live in fear of cultists or

other students vandalizing properties in the name of protests. These

protests can be very violent where people can lose their lives and

properties. One of the biggest problems with public universities is

cultism. This has claimed the lives of thousands of innocent students

and even the cultists themselves. However, students in private

universities are relatively safe from the fear of attacks. Private

universities are very strict and put measures in place to avoid

cultism.



A faster syllabus



It takes just about 4 years in a private university to complete some

government 5-year programs. Government schools have a slower academic

calendar. Even without the problem of strikes, the calendar of a

private school is usually faster than that of a public school.

A more concentrated learning process



Private schools provide a more thorough learning process than public

schools. In Nigerian private schools, special attention is given to

every student of the school. The lecturers of these schools all have a

duty to pay special attention to each student and put them through

their lacks. With this method of learning, your weakness is easily

detected and addressed appropriately. However, in public schools, you

cannot boast of the same luxury. Not with the size and population, it

is usually impossible for the school to afford to provide each student

with a unique learning experience. The administration of the school

has almost no personal relationship with the students. Often times,

they are not aware of any personal psychological needs of the

students.



Better welfare



In a private school, the individual welfare of the students is well

catered for. For example, accommodation is way better than that which

you will get in public schools. Public schools sometimes have light or

water problems, this is often not the case with private universities.

The condition of their classes and the school environment is usually

way better too. For example, when having classes, students of private

universities will not be seen running to get seats due to limited

seating space, because everyone gets to sit down comfortably. With

good welfare, learning is made a lot easier because students will be

less strained.



Better Moral Training



For many, the university is the melting point of their moral

standards. However, Private universities have very strict enforcement

of moral values, which helps in reducing the decay in moral values for

their students.



Superior educational experience and tools



Most public universities are not just well equipped to provide their

students with robust educational experience. This can be measured in

terms of laboratory equipment standard and volume or availability per

student. This thus affects the learning of the students.

Organized system



In private universities, there is more organization in terms of school

administration. For example, you can get your transcripts easily or

can be sure whatever issues you have will be quickly addressed.



No Lecturers Threat



In private universities, you will hardly see or hear about Lecturers

harassing ladies or threatening to fail his or her students. The

reasons why lecturers in public schools threaten to fail students can

be simply ridiculous. There have been instances where lectures

threaten to fail students because the students are using better cars

or phones than them.



Smaller Class Sizes



Most private universities in Nigeria have smaller numbers of students.

These schools insist on admitting a limited number of students, unlike

public schools. What this means is smaller classes than in public

schools. You can hardly be overlooked in a small classroom. Therefore,

you will have your specific needs met. Smaller class sizes also

contribute to improved learning, since students get more personalized

teaching and can ask questions about the subject as needed.



Relatively easy admission process



It is non-arguable that the admission process to private universities

is way easier than in public schools. In some public schools, one has

to know someone who can work their admission out for them even if they

are qualified.



Having your preferred course



In a private university, you can be sure to get your preferred course.

This is due to comparatively reduced cut-off marks. You stand a better

chance.



Better relationship with lecturers



In private universities, you have a better chance at having a better

relationship with lecturers. Lecturers also hardly miss classes so

they teach students to understand. If you have questions about a topic

or need help navigating through some aspects of your course, you can

be able to meet with your professor to get more information. This is

very unlikely in a public university.

Security



In private universities, there is a good number of securities

personnel, starting from the gates. This also helps to increase the

level of security.



Acquisition of extra skills



In a private university, you can have the chance of getting some other

skills aside from school work for yourself. Some of these private

schools have companies such as farms, bottling water companies, radio

stations. Students are allowed to work here and acquire knowledge that

will help them in the outside world.
