Part time programmes in Nigeria is fast receiving the due recognition it deserves and gone are the days when part-time degree certificate plays second fiddle to UTME degree.

List of State Universities In Nigeria Licensed To Run Part-Time ProgrammesThe danger of studying in a state university with non approved part time programmes is that the number of years spent, energy and resources put in the process of trying to get a degree would go down the drain simply for the fact that the part time programmes being run by the University is not approved by the Nigerian University Commission.
Part Time programmes were originally made for individuals who are working but with intention of still going to higher institutions.
The story has virtually changed now as any student who finds it difficult gaining admission into the university, be it state or Federal opts straight for Part time degree programmes and such category of students are not to be blamed because the number of times which in turn translates to years wasted spent writing JAMB, should they had opted for a Part time programmes, they would either be rounding up or even rounded up.
