See The List of 7 Nigerian Universities Built By Churches And Their Outrageous School Fees

 
 In Nigeria, many churches are into the educational sector, so it is not strange to see churches build schools, either primary schools, secondary or even institutions of higher learning.
What is strange however is the fact that most of these institutions which turn out to be private universities, turn around and charge fees that are well out of the reach of the average Nigerian. So what then happens is that church members whose tithes and offerings went into the building of the universities will not be able in the long run to afford to send their children to those schools.
