In this post, you will see the 99 Universities that offer Microbiology in Nigeria.

Microbiology is the study of microscopic life, or microorganisms, and other associated microscopic nonliving biological particles that interact with living things. The science covers bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses, protozoan and many other topics. Although microbes are impossible to see with the naked eye, they have a massive impact in each and every other living thing on the planet.

As a microbiologist you’ll study microorganisms (microbes) in order to understand how they affect our lives and how we can exploit them. You’ll focus on the biology of microorganisms at both the molecular and cellular level, as well as their ecology, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa.
