This is a List of State universities in Nigeria which  emerged alongside federal institutions after the 1979 constitution allowed concurrent control of higher education. Established by individual states, these universities play a crucial role in expanding access to tertiary education and catering to regional needs.

Their history reflects Nigeria’s political development. The early 1980s saw a surge in their creation, driven by a desire to provide educational opportunities closer to home. These universities often focus on specific fields relevant to the state’s economy or resources, such as agriculture or technology.

However, state universities sometimes face challenges with funding and infrastructure compared to federal institutions. Despite this, they contribute significantly to Nigeria’s educational landscape, producing a diverse and skilled workforce for the nation’s development.

Below is a detailed list of the state universities in Nigeria and their websites.
