- The Senate and the National Universities Commission in Nigeria are calling for more universities to be established due to high demand for tertiary education, as discussed during a public hearing in Abuja.
- Nigeria currently has a shortage of universities, with only 275 serving a population of 200 million, leading to millions of students being unable to pursue higher education each year.
- To address this, stakeholders are working on expanding regulatory frameworks and capacity building to support the establishment of additional universities, with a proposed Federal University in Okigwe expected to improve access to education and contribute to national development.
