The new universities are Edwin Clark University in Kiagnodo, Delta State and Hezekiah University in Umudi, Imo State.
According to the Minister of Information, Senator Patricia Akwashiki, the establishment of the universities was aimed at meeting the high demand for admissions into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
She disclosed that officials of the National Universities Commission were in attendance to brief the Council on the need for the two universities.
It will be recalled that the Federal Government approved nine private universities in February.
This new development has taken the number of private degree awarding institutions in the country to sixty one (61).
