A total of 1,251 undergraduate and postgraduate students received their degrees across seven faculties, including Health Sciences, Law, Engineering, Computing, Science, Arts & Social Sciences, and Management Sciences.

According to the V.C., the University’s upward trajectory, which saw it graduating over 1,200 students this year compared to 800 in 2022, is due to its admission into the Honoris United Universities in 2020.

“From a predominantly regional player in the Nigerian education space with a little over 3,000 students before the Honoris acquisition, Nile University has quickly transformed into a major national player with more than 9,000 students.
