One significant feature of enrollment in Private HEIs in Asia (in a sizeable number of countries) is that more students are enrolled in them than in Public HEIs. Again in some of the countries, the number of Private HEIs is higher than the Public HEIs.

The data in tables 1 to 4 provide an overview of total enrollment statistics in selected countries across geographical regions of the world. These statistics have varied over the years hence we have captured their trends from 1990s and beyond. t is important to note that one remarkable feature of enrollment development in this region is that there was ‘virtually O percent in private HEIs before the private revolution’ (Levy, 2005) in the 1990s and beyond. In fact, there was virtually no culture of private higher education institutions before the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. Europe generally has no supportive culture of private higher education even when it is promoting a competitive higher education system under capitalist globalization within the framework of the Bologna Process which has been its prevailing platform for higher education reforms. Europe has through the Bologna Process, jettisoned the commercialization thrust of neo-liberal higher education reforms as it declared higher education a public good to be made equally accessible to their citizens. It openly declared that higher education will remain a public responsibility (see Obasi & Olutayo, 2009).

Table 8 shows that the Ahmadu Bello University alone had a total enrollment figure of 39,219 students which was about the figure for about 30 private universities in 2007. Table 8 also shows that the University of Maiduguri had a total enrollment figure of 38,514 students, while the National Open University had 36,487 students. These figures have some policy implications which are examined in the next section. 5. Conclusion
