An approximate solution of the Schrodinger equation for the generalized Hulthen potential with non-zero angular quantum number is solved. The bound state energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are obtained in terms of Jacobi polynomials. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the computations. We have considered the time-independent Schrodinger equation with the associated form of Hulthen potential which simulate the effect of the centrifugal barrier for any l-state. The energy levels of the used Hulthen potential gives satisfactory values for the non-zero angular momentum as the generalized Hulthen effective potential.
