The University of Ibadan, the University of Nigeria, the University of Lagos and the Ahmadu Bello University have been ranked among the best universities in the world according to the Centre for World University Rankings, The PUNCH reports.

A total of 20,531 universities were ranked with 2,000 making the global list according to the list published on the website of the global organisation on Monday.

The University of Ibadan was ranked first in Nigeria and 1,163th position in the global 2,000.

UNN was ranked second in Nigeria and 1,784th position on the global list.

UNILAG was ranked third in Nigeria and 1,875th globally while ABU was ranked fourth nationally and was placed number 1,881 on the global list.

The top five universities in the world according to the ranking are; Havard University, United States; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, United States; Stanford University, United States; University of Cambridge, United Kingdom and University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.

Accordingly, the rankings were based on research, employability, faculty and education rank.

Commenting on the national picture, the President of the Center for World University Rankings, Dr Nadin Mahassen said: “While it is encouraging to see Nigeria making gains in the rankings, funding to further promote the development and reputation of Nigeria’s higher education system is vital if the country aspires to be more competitive on the global stage.

Efforts must be made to ensure that Nigeria attracts top academics and students, that increasing enrollment numbers at universities come alongside increases in teaching capacity, and that tertiary education expenditure as a percentage of the national GDP steadily grows in the years to come.”

Our universities may not be all that, but they're what we've got at the moment, and they'll get better.

Una no get Job for Graduating Students, Una no get better Economic Environment for Graduating Students. Chunning out Graduates to be Underemployed or Unemployed is a bigger issue than being rated in top 2000 Schools. How many research does the Government use? Those that Built Keke in FUTO how far? Abeg make I just rest

Shine shine bobo....



It may feel pessimistic saying this but the management of those institutions are not even helping at all. Granted that the FG is not funding them nor creating alternative funding routes for them. However, they also generate some funds and the funds they receive are not being maximised.

For example, I don't know why till this day, UI cannot create her own independent power system when Unilorin, OAU and co federal universities have independent power supply. You enter the school at night, and every where is dark like a village. This is aside other areas of infrastructure where the seriousness on the part of the school management could have helped the situation.

You dey mind them

Hehehe! "To restore the dignity of man."

Some nicompoop are already complaining up there. You know why Nigeria has been stagnant? Because we don't celebrate the small wins then aspire from there.

20,000 universities were ranked from all countries around the world. Nigeria made it ti the list of 2,000 globally ranked universities and made it to 1,164, yet someone up there who probably doesn't even have a high school certificate is complaining.

Imagine Nigerian universities receiving the necessary and funding, I am sure they will make it to to first 200.

Despite the strikes, underfunding, lack of equipments and resources, they still made the list.

So many American, Canadian, and British universities didn't make the list. I think they have done well considering the circumstances.
