There are about two Federal Government Colleges in each state. There are also colleges of education, polytechnics, universities plus other specialized institutions owned by the Federal government across the States. All of these Federal owned schools are funded and managed directly by the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Education. Tuition in these schools is very low, almost free.
State owned schools are funded by each state government and are not comparable to the Federal government institutions. The States owns and manages most of the public primary and secondary schools in their domain. In addition all the State Governments have set up various higher institutions of learning including colleges of education, polytechnics and universities to address the man power shortages.
