University of Nigeria: Admissions, Rankings

The University of Nigeria is more and shortly known as UNN, which stands for the University Of Nigeria Nsukka. However, its Nsukka campus is only one of three other locations. This multi-campus institution patterns its education system after American universities. That may be because when the institution was first established, international advisers were consulted by the government to help plan and develop UNN. Aside from that, the university is also the first to be founded by the Nigerian government and one of the first institutions in the country to produce tertiary education graduates.
