These include Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine as well as business and technical vocational education.
Degrees awarded in Nigeria will be equivalent to those issued in the United Kingdom.
The ministry said student admissions are expected to begin between the third and fourth quarters of 2026.
Regulatory approvals will be required before the programme officially begins operations.
The initiative aims to provide world-class education locally at significantly reduced cost for Nigerian students.
The ministry said the project is supported by the United Kingdom Department for Business and Trade.
Officials say the initiative will position Nigeria as a regional hub for knowledge and innovation.
