Covenant University – CU

Covenant University (CU) is a private Christian Pentecostal university located in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, South-West Nigeria. Founded on 21st October 2002 by Bishop David Oyedepo, the presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Covenant University is widely regarded as Nigeria’s most prestigious private university and one of Africa’s leading universities. With a student enrolment of approximately 8,000 — 9,000 and over 20,000 alumni worldwide, CU offers over 36 undergraduate programmes across 4 colleges and 23 departments, in addition to a growing portfolio of postgraduate programmes. The university is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Association of African Universities, and is fully accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC). In 2019, Covenant University became the first Nigerian university to be ranked in the top 401 — 500 category of world universities by Times Higher Education (THE), and in 2020 was ranked No. 1 in Nigeria, No. 1 in West Africa, and No. 4 in Africa overall by the same ranking body. The current Vice-Chancellor is Professor Timothy A. Anake, who assumed office in 2025.

History of the Institution

The founding of Covenant University began in October 1999, just one month after the dedication of the Faith Tabernacle in Ota. The university is a product of the Liberation Commission and was established by the World Mission Agency and the Living Faith Church Worldwide, driven by the vision of raising a new generation of leaders and reinstating the dignity of the black race. Its founding Chancellor, Bishop David Oyedepo, provided the vision and resources that transformed Canaanland, Ota into a world-class educational campus.

Academic activities commenced on 21st October 2002, making CU one of the pioneering private universities licensed by the NUC following the federal government’s liberalisation of university ownership in Nigeria. The institution launched with three founding colleges — the College of Business Studies (CBS), the College of Human Development (CHD), and the College of Science and Technology (CST). These were restructured over the years to improve efficiency and alignment with the university’s expanding academic scope.

In the 2009/2010 academic session, the colleges were reorganised into two: the College of Development Studies (formed by merging CBS and CHD) and the retained College of Science and Technology. By the 2014/2015 academic session, Covenant University had expanded again to four colleges — the College of Business and Social Sciences (CBSS), the College of Leadership Development Studies (CLDS), the College of Engineering, and the College of Science and Technology (CST) — each with two schools. This four-college structure remains in operation today with updated naming conventions.

Covenant University’s rise to international prominence has been rapid. In January 2015, it was ranked the best university in Nigeria according to Webometrics. In 2016 and 2017, the National Universities Commission named it the best private university in Nigeria. In August 2017, the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry awarded it the best private university in Nigeria. On 26th September 2018, it became the highest-ranked Nigerian university in the THE World University Rankings. In 2020, it ranked No. 1 in Nigeria, No. 1 in West Africa, and No. 4 in Africa by THE, and was ranked 301 — 400 globally in Engineering and Technology. It was also ranked No. 1 in Nigeria for graduate employment by the STUTERN Graduate Employability Report in 2018. A new College of Law has also been announced by the Chancellor to address critical gaps in Nigeria’s legal education.

The university operates as a fully residential institution. All students live on campus in Canaanland, Ota — a self-contained community with lecture halls, laboratories, hostels, chapels, a clinic, sports facilities, cafeterias, and a shopping complex. The university is known for strict lifestyle rules including a ban on personal mobile phones on campus, a compulsory dress code, mandatory chapel attendance, and no cooking in hostels.

Bells University of Technology, BUT
Bells University of Technology – BUT

Bells University of Technology  widely known as BellsTech or BUT  is a private non-religious co-educational university located in Ota, Ogun State, South-West Nigeria. Licensed on 9th June 2005 and commencing operations on 1st July 2005, BellsTech holds the historic distinction of being Nigeria’s first private university of technology. The university was established by The Bells Educational Foundation, which is associated with former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and which already operated a chain of nursery, primary, and secondary schools prior to the university’s founding. With 5 colleges, 22 departments, and over 35 accredited undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, Bells University focuses on technology-driven, ICT-powered, entrepreneurial education designed to produce innovative, practically skilled graduates. BellsTech is fully accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and is ranked 41st in the Times Higher Education Sub-Saharan Africa University Rankings 2024 and 59th nationally in Nigeria. The current Vice-Chancellor is Professor Jeremiah Ojediran.

History of the Institution

The idea of Bells University of Technology was conceived by The Bells Educational Foundation following a desire to build a unique university that would extend the strong academic foundation already given to graduates of its secondary schools. When the Federal Government opened the door for private university ownership in Nigeria, the Foundation applied for and received an NUC operational licence on 9th June 2005. Academic activities commenced on 1st July 2005, making Bells the first private university of technology in Nigeria.

The university began operations with a focus on technology-driven and ICT-supported courses that were transferable, relevant, and at the cutting edge of science and technology. Over the years, it expanded steadily from its original structure into five colleges and a postgraduate school. In 2013, the NUC approved Bells University’s postgraduate programmes, and in 2021, at the 12th Convocation ceremony, the university awarded its very first set of Ph.D. degrees — a significant academic milestone. In August 2025, the NUC approved 11 additional new programmes to commence in the 2025/2026 academic session, including software engineering and cyber security.

In 2024, 13 programmes received full five-year re-accreditation from the NUC following an evaluation exercise, including Accounting, Banking and Finance, Biomedical Engineering, Building Technology, Business Administration, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Economics, Estate Management, Management Technology, Mechatronics Engineering, Nutrition and Dietetics, Telecommunications Engineering, and Urban and Regional Planning. The university celebrated its 20th anniversary in November 2025, holding its 17th Convocation Ceremony at the BUPF International Conference Centre, Ota.

Notable research and institutional collaborations include a partnership with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) through the Centre for Agricultural Technology and Entrepreneurial Studies (CATES), a weather station on campus established in partnership with the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) in January 2024, and virtual research collaborations with the University of Manchester and North Carolina University in the USA, initiated in 2024 and expanded in 2025. A 2025 MoU was also signed with the DePECOS Institutions and Development Research Centre (DIaDeRC) and the Academy of Innovative Research, Science and Technological Development (AcIRSTD).

One of BellsTech’s standout offerings is a fully tuition-free undergraduate programme in Agricultural Technology, supported by a scholarship worth over ₦450,000 — making it one of the very few private universities in Nigeria to offer a tuition-free course.

Babcock University

Babcock University which is a private Christian co-educational university owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Nigeria. Located in Ilishan-Remo, off the Sagamu-Benin Expressway, Ogun State, the university sits equidistant between Lagos and Ibadan in South-West Nigeria. Formally inaugurated on 20th April 1999, Babcock was one of the first three private universities accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in Nigeria. With over 12,000 students, more than 20,000 alumni worldwide, and 8 colleges offering over 50 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, Babcock is consistently ranked among the top 5 universities in Nigeria. It is recognised as the 2nd most efficient university in Nigeria according to NUC efficiency rankings, and over 90% of its graduates are employed within one year of graduation. The university is named after David Caldwell Babcock, an American Seventh-day Adventist missionary who pioneered the work of the SDA Church in Nigeria in 1914. The current Vice-Chancellor is Professor Ademola Tayo.

History of the Institution

The story of Babcock University stretches back to 1959, when seven pioneer students cleared a site in Ilishan-Remo to begin what would become a historic institution. The university traces its origins to the Adventist College of West Africa (ACWA), formally established in September 1959 with those seven students, who were initially hosted at the home of Chief Olufemi Okulaja. It was the realisation of the missionary efforts of David Caldwell Babcock, who arrived in Nigeria in 1914 and pioneered the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the country.

In 1975, ACWA was renamed the Adventist Seminary of West Africa (ASWA), broadening its academic scope and establishing affiliations with Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, USA, which enabled it to award degrees. In the early 1990s, the institution changed its name to Babcock College and secured an affiliation with the University of Ibadan (UI) to widen its reach within Nigeria’s formal education system.

The pivotal turning point came in 1999, when a delegation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) granted the institution full university accreditation, making it one of the first three private universities to be officially recognised in Nigeria. The university was formally inaugurated on 20th April 1999. Its first batch of 1,006 students arrived on 13th September 1999, and the Matriculation Ceremony was presided over by Pastor and Professor Jan Paulsen — then President of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church from Washington D.C., USA — on 28th January 2000.

The university commenced academic activities with three pioneer faculties — Education and Humanities, Management and Social Sciences, and Science and Technology — with eleven departments. The School of Law and Security Studies later became the fourth school. A Postgraduate School was established in 2010. The Benjamin S. Carson (Snr.) School of Medicine was established in 2012, with its first set of graduates inducted into the medical profession in 2017. The 7th graduation ceremony on 7th June 2009 marked both the 50th anniversary of the institution and its 10th anniversary as a university.

Today, Babcock University operates across two campuses: the main campus at Ilishan-Remo (housing all non-legal schools, the Babcock University Teaching Hospital, administrative centres, the postgraduate school, a state-of-the-art sports complex, and student accommodation halls), and a law campus in Iperu-Remo housing the School of Law and Security Studies. Among its notable achievements are pioneering arthroscopic ligament construction in Nigeria and hosting the first SDA-owned medical school in West Africa.
