List of Universities in Sokoto State

Sokoto State is located in North-Western Nigeria, with Sokoto City serving as its state capital. Within the state, there is a significant number of Federal, State, and Private Universities where students interested in furthering their education can enroll. These institutions have received accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC).

What mainly differentiates the school are ownership and school fees. Federal Universities are under the control of the Federal Government, State Universities are managed and run by the Sokoto state while Private Universities are managed by Private Individuals.
