Well, it means schools that you do not ward your kids going to. They are universities that are not approved by the Nigerian University Commission. However, it is believed that some of this schools admit students with the hope and promise that they will be duly approved before they graduate. That obviously is illegal and as such the NUC publishes their names. Here they are (over 50 of them);
