The claim is accurate based on the financial statements shown in the images: for 2023, University of Ibadan (UI) had a surplus of about ₦782 million and University of Lagos (UNILAG) posted an even larger surplus of ₦6.79 billion, while University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) reported a deficit of ₦191 million despite having the highest budget allocation among federal universities.
So, yes, with these figures, UI and UNILAG managed their finances to end the year in surplus, but UNN ran a deficit even with more federal funding, and there are also public reports about UNN seeking funds to meet accreditation requirements.
