This paper investigated “A comparative Analysis of Students’ Overpopulation on Availability of Resources between Federal and State Universities in North Central Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design. The population of the respondents was 13,784 made up of all academic and senior administrative staff of Federal and State Universities in North Central Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select a sample of 269 made up of 125 academic staff and 144 senior administrative staff from Federal university of Agriculture Makurdi and Benue State University, Makurdi. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique of balloting without replacement was used to select the universities and the respondents for the study. The instrument used for data collection were a 20-item structured checklist compared against National Universities Commission (NUC) benchmark on Provision of Resources in universities in Nigeria, using a four point modified rating scale of High Available (HA), Moderately Available (MA), Low Available (LA) and Not Available (NA). Mean and standard deviation were used to test the hypotheses while t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that there is no significant mean effect of students’ overpopulation on the availability of resources between Federal and State Universities. And recommended among others that Federal and State Government should increase funding to Public Universities, so that the NUC benchmark for provision of resources can be met.
