University of Benin:

UNIBEN is another excellent school for postgraduate studies in several departments. The emphasis here on “SOME” is that some departments are known to have minor glitches that unnecessarily slow down the program.

But UNIBEN’s PG program is good, fast and solid. Although the physical infrastructure is in place, much of it is worn out and UNIBEN’s maintenance culture is lacking.
