1. Landmark University, Kwara State
The building of the Landmark University in Kwara State is designed in subdued colours and features lots of glass. It’s one of the more modern universities on our list, being founded only in 2011. The name of the university is more than justified, as it’s one of the most appealing buildings in Omu-Aran.
2. University of Lagos, Lagos
Any list of the Top 20 best universities in Nigeria wouldn’t be complete without the University of Lagos. Whether you live in Lagos or another part of the country, you have likely heard many positive things about this school, especially their beautiful campus, innovative design, and lots of trees and plants for a better landscape.
3. University of Benin, Benin City
The first thing you notice about the University of Benin is their unusual gate house that showcases the expertise of modern Nigerian architects. However, the remaining buildings of the University of Benin are equally impressive, especially the auditorium – it looks very solemn.
4. University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State
The main building of the University of Port Harcourt looks rather modest at first glance, since there are no flashy designs or bright colours. However, a closer look reveals that it’s actually very neat and pleasant to look at. The perfect symmetry and the little colourful accent are what makes this University so good-looking.
5. University of Ibadan, Oyo State
The University of Ibadan is Nigeria’s oldest university, which is why its buildings and campus may not be as eye-catching or modern as some other schools on our list. Still, it has several very recognizable features, including the spherical construction of the gate house and the very impressive clock tower.
6. Covenant Univeristy, Ota, Ogun State
Some of Nigeria’s most beautiful universities are privately owned, and the Covenant University is no exception. Like the Landmark University, it is owned by David Oyedepo’s church, but the design of the university is very contemporary. In addition to the gorgeous main building design, everyone also loves the spacious and green campus.
7. Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State
The Federal University of Agriculture has a long and complex history, and it has clearly reflected on the look of the school. The buildings here look very different, but each of them is a work of architectural art. Students and spectators particularly love the beautiful Senate building.
8. Ahmadu Bello Univeristy, Zaria, Kaduna State
The Ahmadu Bello University is the biggest and most famous institution of Northern Nigeria, and its status is clearly reflected in the design of its campus. The buildings here are timeless and appealing, and the campus is even more gorgeous.
9. Federal Univeristy of Technology, Minna, Niger State
The Federal University of Technology may be one of the most prestigious higher institutions in Nigeria, but its design is very simple and practical. However, the buildings are rather uniform and paint a complete picture, and the white colour of the campus makes the whole thing look very neat.
10. Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State
The beauty of the Obafemi Awolowo University is in its vibrant diversity. Every building on campus seems to have been designed by different people, but together they work perfectly and turn the university into one of the most memorable spots in Nigeria.
