Universities
Nigeria has over 170 universities (federal, state, private).
This figure is consistent across multiple regulatory summaries and updated institutional lists.

Polytechnics
Nigeria has 125 polytechnics, colleges of education, and seminaries affiliated with universities, but the number of standalone polytechnics is slightly lower.
The NBTE‑recognized polytechnics are typically counted at ≈ 150 nationwide.

Colleges of Education (NCE‑awarding)
The National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) lists:

Federal Colleges: 26

State Colleges: 50

Private Colleges: 166

Other Colleges: 20
Total NCE‑awarding institutions: 262

How many students are in NCE‑awarding institutions?
The NCCE reports 2,778,912 total students enrolled in NCE‑awarding institutions.

If ₦3 billion were shared among students, how much would each get?
It depends on which group you want to share the money with:

If shared among ALL NCE students (2,778,912 students)
3,000,000,000/2,778,912≈₦1,079 per student
Each NCE student would get about ₦1,079.

If shared among ALL tertiary institutions (universities + polytechnics + COEs)
Approximate totals:

Universities ≈ 170

Polytechnics ≈ 150

Colleges of Education = 262
Total institutions ≈ 3,000,000,000/582≈₦5,154,000
 per institution
Each institution would get about ₦5.15 million.

If shared among ONLY the 3 universities Moniepoint selected
(OAU, UNN, ABU)

3,000,000,0003=₦1,000,000,000
Each university gets ₦1 billion.
