  We present the solutions of the Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equation with the
Hulth$\acute{e}$n potential plus ring-shape potential for $\ell\neq 0$ states
within the framework of an exponential approximation of the centrifugal
potential.Solutions to the corresponding angular and radial equations are
obtained in terms of special functions using the conventional Nikiforov-Uvarov
method. The normalization constant for the Hulth$\acute{e}$n potential is also
computed.
