Nigerian Turkish Nile University
About Nigerian Turkish Nile University Tertiary level
education forms the bedrock of high level manpower development in any
nation. This highlights the need for a qualitative education at this
level. There is a dearth of instructions and infrastructure to cater for
the needs of our ever increasing number of secondary school leavers.
This has made it imperative for the private sector to take initiatives
in the areas of providing tertiary education, especially for an
organization that has a track record in providing high quality
education.
The Nigerian Turkish International College started with humble beginnings in September 1998. The school opened with 23 students on a rented site at Cairo Street, Wuse 2, Abuja. Like an acorn, the NTIC has proliferated into a network of schools located in Abuja, Kano, Kaduna, Lagos, Ogun and Yobe States.
This phenomenal growth is attributable to the quality of Education obtainable in the NTIC Group of Schools. It is against this background that the parents and students of the NTIC have mounted pressure on the Management to establish a university that will carry on the tradition of the NTIC at the tertiary level.
In response to this, the parent company of the NTIC (SURAT Nigeria Ltd) came up with the idea of having a world class university in Abuja. This is how the Nigerian Turkish Nile University was born. Nigerian Turkish Nile University (NTNU) is located in the centre of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria; and close to many social facilities and natural wonders of the city. It provides its students with many opportunities.
Despite being a young institution, it is fast becoming a well known university in Nigeria.

Obafemi Awolowo University
Obafemi Awolowo University is a government-owned and -operated Nigerian university. The university is in the ancient city of Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. The university was founded in 1962 as the University of Ife by the regional government of Western Nigeria, led by late chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, and was renamed Obafemi Awolowo University on 12 May 1987 in honour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo (1909–1987), first premier of the Western Region of Nigeria, whose brainchild the university was.
For more updates,news and info visit www.campusflava.com
The decision to establish the University of Ife (popularly referred
to as "Great Ife") by the ruling Action Group party of the Western
Region of Nigeria was in protest at the recommendations of the Ashby
commission. The first Nigerian university was established in 1948 at
Ibadan, in the western region as an external college of the university
of London. However, the needs of Nigeria (then a British colony) far
outstripped the productivity of the only university. In particular the
University College at Ibadan had no faculty of engineering or
technology, no law school, no pharmacy school or management training
abilities. The Ashby commission, set up by the British, was to review
tertiary education needs of the soon-to-be-independent nation of
Nigeria.
In 1959, the Ashby commission recommended additional (regional) universities in the northern and eastern regions of Nigeria and another federal university in the Lagos protectorate, but none in the more educationally advanced western region which had a 'free and universal primary education' program. The government of the western region did not want to rely on the federal universities or those of other regions to admit its numerous secondary school leavers.
The protest of the foundation of the university at Ife was not only in rebuttal to the perceived politicization of higher education opportunities in Nigeria and the western region but was also designed to fill the gaps in the manpower needs.
Ife started the first Faculty of Pharmacy in West Africa, the first Department of Chemical Engineering and the first Electronics component in addition to Electrical Engineering. Its medical school started with an integrated curriculum and community orientation (which was later adopted by the World Health Organization) and a compulsory baccalaureate (BSc honours) before entrance to the clinical school, but this was later jettisoned.
The university has 13 faculties and two colleges — the Postgraduate College and the College of Health Sciences — administered in more than 60 departments. It was previously associated with Loma Linda University in California, USA. Ever since the establishment of OAU, a total of 82 departments have emerged with numerous courses offered. Below is the list of departments: African Languages and Literature, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Extension and Rural Sociology, Anaesthesia, Anatomy and Cell Biology, Animal Science, Archeology, Architecture, Biochemistry, Botany, Building, Business Law, Chemical Engineering, Chemical Pathology, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Community Health and Nutrition, Computer Science and Engineering, Continuing Education, Demography and Social Statistics, Dermatology and Venerology, Dramatic Arts, Economics, Educational Administration and Planning, Educational Foundation and Counseling, Educational Technology, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, English Language, Environmental Health and Epidemiology, Estate Management, Fine Arts, Food Science and Technology, Foreign Languages, Geography, Geology, Haematology and Immunology, History, International Law, International Relations, Jurisprudence and Private Law, Linguistics, Literature in English, Local Government Studies, Management and Accounting, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine, Mental Health, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Microbiology, Morbid Anatomy and Forensic Medicine, Music, Nursing, Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Perimatology, Oral Maxilofacial Surgery and Oral Pathology, Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Paediatrics and Child Health, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacognosy, Pharmacology, Philosophy, Physics, Physiological Sciences, Plant Science, Political Science, Preventive Dentistry, Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Psychology, Public Administration, Public Law, Quantity Surveying, Radiology, Religious Studies, Restorative Dentistry, Sociology and Anthropology, Soil Science, Special Education and Curriculum Studies, Surgery, Urban and Regional Planning and, Zoology,
Nigeria's only Nobel prize-winner (in literature), Wole Soyinka, served as professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Ife. At the close of last millennium, he was appointed an emeritus professor of Dramatic Arts at the university.
Stephen Adebanji Akintoye served as Director of the Institute of African Studies from 1974 to 1977.
In terms of research productivity, Ife is ranked as the most productive university in Nigeria by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and by Shanghai University world rankings as it relates to Africa. Ife has attracted young Nigerian students because, for a long time, it had no lower age limit for admission.
Enrollment is about 12,000 for undergraduates and 6,000 for graduate studies. The major halls of undergraduate residences for males are Fajuyi, Awolowo, Angola and E.T.F. For women, halls of residence are Moremi, Ladoke Akintola, Alumni and Mozambique. Muritala Muhammed Hall is for postgraduates.
The university is endowed with beautiful architecture[citation needed] and an eye-catching landscape built on about 5,000 acres (20 km2) of a total of 13,000 acres (53 km2) of the land owned by the university.

The Nigerian College of Aviation Technology is a higher education institute in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. It is funded by the Civil Aviation Department in the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Aviation. Formerly known as the Nigerian Civil Aviation Training Centre, the school was established in 1964. It has a fleet of about 25 training aircraft. As of 2010, about 6,500 students had graduated from the college, which offers course in flying, aircraft maintenance, air traffic control and aeronautical telecommunications. Chief Dayo Abatan was appointed Chairman of the college in February 2009. In 2010, the college was seeking to become a Degree awarding institution through affiliation with a foreign University.
A Nigerian domestic airline, Arik Air, started a scholarship plan in October 2006 for training pilots and aircraft engineers. The first 15 students for the Standard Pilot Course were to graduate in November 2008.[4] The World Bank tendered for a study on equipment, infrastructure and training needs for the college in November 2008, a preliminary step before allocating funding. As of 2009 although the college undertook initial training of commercial pilots, courses in learning to fly new aircraft types and refresher courses were mostly done outside Nigeria. In January 2010 the president of Aviation Round Table, Captain Dele Ore, called for increased funding for the college so it could meet its statutory obligations.
In July 2008, a trainer jet missed the runway and crashed into the fence. The pilot was injured, and the jet slightly damaged. Another incident had occurred in 2005.

Chief Dayo Abatan was appointed Chairman of the college in February 2009. In 2010, the college was seeking to become a Degree awarding institution through affiliation with a foreign University.
A Nigerian domestic airline, Arik Air, started a scholarship plan in October 2006 for training pilots and aircraft engineers. The first 15 students for the Standard Pilot Course were to graduate in November 2008.[4] The World Bank tendered for a study on equipment, infrastructure and training needs for the college in November 2008, a preliminary step before allocating funding. As of 2009 although the college undertook initial training of commercial pilots, courses in learning to fly new aircraft types and refresher courses were mostly done outside Nigeria. In January 2010 the president of Aviation Round Table, Captain Dele Ore, called for increased funding for the college so it could meet its statutory obligations.
In July 2008, a trainer jet missed the runway and crashed into the fence. The pilot was injured, and the jet slightly damaged. Another incident had occurred in 2005.

St. Paul's University College
St. Paul's University College is an affiliated college of the University of Waterloo, located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
The college has two functions: first, it is a residence for both
undergraduate and graduate students of the University; and, second, it
offers classes to all University students.
For more info,updates and news visit www.campusflava.com
The residence has several traditions that are unique to the college. The fall term begins with a week-long Orientation Week that is run jointly with the other residences and faculties to acquaint incoming first-year students with the campus. St. Paul's Orientation Week is traditionally centered around winning the Golden Beanie. Early in the fall term, the entire college plays a game of capture the flag, and another game entitled "Gotcha" where the residents try to tag and eliminate each other through survival of the fittest. Also in the fall term, the male residents on Empire organize the Empire Wine & Cheese.
The Winter Formal is held in the winter term and is a night with a dinner and dance. In early March, the annual Blackforest Coffeehouse showcases talent from both the college and the region; most performers present musical acts, although other acts (such as magic or spoken word) are sometimes showcased.
Each school night, toast and several spreads are made available at Toast Time so that students can have a study break. Other regular activities include writing workshops, intramural sports teams, and community dinners.
La Bastille, a floor that houses 17 French-speaking students, is the only such floor on the Waterloo campus. A tutor from France lives on the floor from September through April to help stimulate French-language growth in the students. Occasionally, students from La Bastille will eat together over a conversation in French or watch a French movie.
Facilities that are available to students include a cafeteria with full meal service, three lounges, a library and study hall, a chapel (now mainly functioning as a multipurpose classroom), and a games room.
The College will propose a new program to the University of Waterloo administration in the area of International Development. This program will be a multidisciplinary program that teaches students about volunteerism and philanthropy and how to use it across the globe.
Events that are organised that are of interest to aboriginal students include weekly speakers as part of the NATST 370 course and the annual SUNDANCe Pow-Wow.

University of Agriculture, Abeokuta
he Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State (FUNAAB)
was established on 1 January 1988 by the Federal Government when four
Universities of Technology, earlier merged in 1984, were demerged. This
led to the creation of the first two Universities of Agriculture in
Abeokuta and Makurdi.
On the same date, Professor Nurudeen Olorun-Nimbe Adedipe was appointed the pioneer Vice-Chancellor of the University. Professor Adedipe officially assumed duty on 28 January 1988. For many years the date which Professor Adedipe assumed duty was wrongly adopted as the foundation day of the University. Following a revisit to the instrument setting up the University, a Council decision at its 53rd Statutory meeting in June 2010 reverted the foundation date to 1 January 1988 as prescribed by the law which established the University.
Prior to the emergence of FUNAAB, the Federal Government had established the Federal University of Technology, Abeokuta (FUTAB) in 1983. Then, in 1984, it was merged with the University of Lagos and had its name changed to the College of Science and Technology, Abeokuta (COSTAB), before the demerger of January, 1988.
The University started off from the old Campus of Abeokuta Grammar School, Isale-Igbein near the city centre. It completed its movement to its Permanent Site along Alabata Road in 1997, in what has been termed the fastest pace of Permanent Site development in the history of Nigerian University System.
At the initial stage, five Colleges were introduced in the University in October 1988 as follows:
