While we have taken the diligence to compile a list of the best universities in Nigeria to study medicine and surgery, we would like you to know that you can study medicine and surgery in other accredited medical schools in any university within the country and come out as the best medical doctor if you work hard at it.

The school you attend may affect your performance but its effect is actually negligible if you can bend down and study. We are saying this because lots of medical aspirants will neglect other prestigious universities in the country and apply to these competitive universities because of their reputation and at the end may not gain admission because there are lots of other applicants from the University’s catchment area.

With that said I present to you a list of the top 10 best universities to study medicine and surgery in Nigeria.

  1. Ahmado Bello University, Zaria (ABU)

There’s no school to compete with ABU in the north at least not when the competition boils down to medicine and surgery. ABU has the one of the most well-equipped teaching hospital in the country making it the number one destination for medical aspirants hoping to school in the north.

The University of Lagos probably is the best universities in Nigeria. It was established in 1962 with the goal of training professionals for the newly independent Nigeria.
