Many university admission seekers do fall into unaccredited institutions unknowingly. This can be as a result of their lack of enlightenment， or their over-enthusiasm about gaining admission. The consequence of studying in such unaccredited institutions is not only the waste of money， but also the time and effort spent.
Hence， it is very pertinent to know the accreditation status of the school one is seeking admission into. A good point is that most of the fake universities privately owned.
Here is the full list of universities in Nigeria that are accredited by the National University Commission (NUC) as of the time of writing this piece.
