The concept of private university was critically examined taking into cognizance the historical development of university education in Nigeria and its purposes as contained in the National Policy on Education. Also, the evolution, classifications as well as the list of approved private universities as at 2020 in the country were consecutively elucidated. The justifications for the establishment of private universities and the challenges serving as the stumbling blocks to the institutions were looked into. The study concluded that development and production of high-level manpower within the context of the nation’s needs rely heavily on the functionality and effectively of private universities in Nigeria. It was recommended among others that the government must provide technical and logistics support as required by these institutions for effective service delivery; government scholarship as well as bursary awards should be extended to students in the private higher institutions and the management of the institutions should engage in insurance scheme of diverse categories of foreseeable risk can be shared.
