UNN, ABU tops varsity with highest 2023 budget allocation

The federal government has increased its allocations to federal universities across the country.

Details from the 2023 proposed budget showed that all universities and technical colleges received a higher allocation than the previous year.

Due to the 8-month face-off between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), budget allocations for Nigerian universities were of serious interest.

And indeed, the federal government decided to adjust upwards what will be available for universities to spend.

The University of Nigeria, Nsuka (UNN) will receive the most funding for 2023, followed by Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (ABU), and the University of Lagos.

UNN has been given N29.36 billion for 2023, an increase from N23.97 billion in the 2022 budget.

Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (ABU) also obtained a N25.84 billion budget increase for 2023, up from N22.57 billion in the previous year’s budget (2022).
