Here’s the current situation regarding the National Universities Commission (NUC) and University of London programmes or campuses in Nigeria
📌 1. University of London Does Not Have an Official Stand-Alone Campus in Nigeria
The *University of London itself does not currently operate an accredited branch campus in Nigeria licensed by the NUC.
What does exist are recognized teaching centres in Nigeria where students can take University of London International Programmes — these are not the same as an official University of London campus with degree-awarding powers inside Nigeria.
University of London
This means that while you can study University of London programmes locally, the physical teaching centres aren’t standalone campuses owned and run by the University of London.
📌 2. Recognized Teaching Centres vs. Licensed Universities
The University of London lists local Nigerian teaching centres where students get support face-to-face while enrolled in its programmes (distance/online delivery).

These teaching centres must not be confused with formally accredited branch campuses recognized by the NUC as independent universities.
📌 3. NUC’s Position on Foreign Campus Operations
Recently, the NUC lifted a long-standing ban on foreign universities establishing campuses in Nigeria and introduced guidelines to allow foreign institutions to enter the Nigerian higher education system in several modes (e.g., branch campus, franchise, twinning, distance learning).

However, approval must be granted by the NUC before any foreign university (including UK institutions) can establish a licensed campus in Nigeria.
There is no evidence currently that the University of London has received such NUC approval to set up a formal campus awarding UoL degrees independently within Nigeria.
The aforementioned information indicates the difference between NUC fully licensed Study Campus to award Nigerian degrees and independent Study Center which cannot award degrees but providing tuition leading to the award of Degree directly from the foreign University country of origin which is licensed to award degrees to students in foreign countries.
However, it is at the discretion of the foreign University authorities to establish a foreign campus to become fully Licensed by NUC of Nigeria to award Nigerian degrees locally provided it is in conformity with UNESCO's Rules.
FOREIGN CREDENTIALS DISCRIMINATION
Certificates, Diplomas and Degrees of the same course from all nations do not have the same academic value both for study advancement and on the job market specially in the Western nations where credentials discrimination abound based on academic standard comparability, social infrastructures and scientific advancements as evident in some of the Nigerian graduates travel to abroad with their credentials only to start all over again based on academic standard differences.
Based on this development, UNESCO had set up Committee in order to reduce the high rate of foreign credentials discrimination among member nations.
Evidently, most Nigerian politicians prefer foreign credentials in order to please their foreign political counterparts and international jobs engagement. Based on this development, Nigerian graduates are advised to have both Nigerian and foreign credentials for a blend in case of political and international engagement in the digital world as a global village.
