This question tests knowledge of what constitutes a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

Question

Which of the following is NOT a Non-Governmental Organization?
A. Women in Management and Business
B. University of Lagos
C. Access to Education for Children
D. Action Aid International Nigeria

Answer

B. University of Lagos

Explanation:

The University of Lagos is a government-owned educational institution, and therefore does not fit the definition of a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). NGOs are typically private, not-for-profit organizations that work independently from the government, often focusing on humanitarian, educational, or advocacy work. The other options listed are examples of organizations that function as NGOs.
