In this article, I have decided to share the list of all science courses offered in Nigeria in 2022 for universities and polytechnics and the respective faculties the courses fall into.
To start with, science courses are among the most valuable and lucrative courses in Nigeria and across the world and they generally have high-paying jobs.
So if you can build a career on a good science course, then you are building a better future for yourself across the globe and even in Nigeria.
Now, before I go into listing all the available science courses offered in Nigerian universities and polytechnics, I will love to answer some important questions that pertain to this topic.
