We should be discussing research output and not land mass

Research on agriculture methods,livestock innovation and fishery would require those huge land mass nau
I have not added aeronautics o

I never mention the land mass required for marine engineering students sef

BABANGBALI:
It is not how big that matters o, it is what they use it to produce. Some men get am extra big but dem still never born

always off point

mrvitalis:
No university should be more than 500 hectares honestly

Exactly

I'm curious to know how the writer of this post got his or hers info, because what I do know this, Uthman Dan Fodio university is bigger than most of the universities mentioned. That school has about 14 very big villages inside it.

I mean, after you see the sign "Welcome to Uthman Dan Fodio university, you still have to drive like almost close to an hour or more before to get to the campus. Men, that school is really big.

All of them are located in where land is cheap

Where will UNILAG get 15,000 hectares in Lagos. Even the 802 acres has to be guided seriously before others encroach on it and steal multi billion naira worth of land.

What happened to University of Nigeria Nsuka?

tinnymerit:
Funaab is 40000 hectares


Make your findings right.
29 villages were exited to create land for the school.

is like you're right, what I know is that funnab is very big, from Alabata to mawuko, including some villages along the road.

baralatie:

Until you have faculty of agriculture and fishery
Then 10000 he tares is small sef

Harvard is 250 hectares oga no excuse

Amalekki:


It is in our nature to exaggerate.

Many of ours are just starting to understand the meaning of "fact". Even this list on this thread is not 100% accurate. Our people have little respect for fact and real research.

You got it I don't know how true that could be or the objective behind such Land acquisition

Hezzyluv:


All of them should utilise chunk of their Lands for agriculture. 10,000 hactares no be moi moi

Indeed. Otherwise, these are waste of resources

Nigeria Army University Biu is 5074 hectares

The unusual crave about 'land mass' has gone too far.
What does it matter if Sahara University has the biggest land mass in the world?
Universities should be ranked according to:
1. Academic excellence
2. Qualified professors and teachers.
3. Research findings ---like which school can solve our daily problems with health care, agriculture, and even security, in addition to engineering?
4. Number of international awards and recognitions.
5. Percentage of graduates ing external and international exams.
6. How much endowment fund they can generate from alumni and ers.
7. How happy the students are during and after school?

There's no where schools are rated based on if a student occupies more than 1 square mile all by himself.

stonebil:
This report to me is FALSE.

Only Universities of Agriculture, was supposed to have large area space.

For Others 1,000hectre is ok

It is false indeed, a simple Google check of Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University of Agric Makurdi shows 8048hectres and it is not on the list, while smaller land sizes are there

UNIABUJA is something else

yarimo:
is like you just quote without understanding simple question ? Do you think Dan fodio is a small university by land mass ?

O' Boy rest. This is not Tinubu government matters they're discussing here.
We are talking about education - Universities and their landmass, not government propaganda.

I'm surprised ABU at No.6

What's the hype now.

None have an independent agricultural empire
None have 90% on campus accommodations
None have IPU
None have a Sport Empire

Abeg abeg.

Students just increasing and renting off campus apartments like sand.

Find something new to brag with pls.

baralatie:

Do you have a full faculty of agriculture, livestock or fishery

They have a staff quarter that is bigger than the school...

hakeemhakeem:


Reason why I took our ASUU as unserious entity,if we couldn't compete in tech while can't we develop the agriculture sector to fund the school

Is ASUU running Universities?

Better by far.
My Alma mata.

Hezzyluv:

Exactly. All of them have Faculties of Agriculture yet can't feed their environs. Very lazy Vice-Chancellors in charge of them.

Does Harvard have an agricultural faculty

Where is the research output on those stuffs you mentioned. Most research are done in the lab, not on open fields.

What is the size of MIT, Harvard, Caltech and Oxford?

what about university of agriculture Makurdi

There are lan research and there is field research
For avric, livestock fishery there not only lab research on producing new genetic traits.
They also have field research that is required to get yield of harvest research and performance
That is why china has a rice variety that would give 22 tons per acre
And Nigeria has some other cassava varieties as well as
Without field for agric,it is cumbersome to say if it works or not

Aaah!
I understand why you asked but I can assure the agric institutions have been churning out new varians despite the meagre research funding they get
At least I know of cassava,rice ,palm oil seedlingsyam seedlings .I have not gone deep to read all there works

Sadly, we have carried the foolishness of revenue allocation erroneously based on land mass because of political factors to our institutions of higher learning.

Universities, to an extent like a church is not based on buildings or land mass, but on people and professionals operating the system.
So, you have Universities with one building and hundreds of off site campuses, and now we even have virtual Universities without physical buildings and certainly no land mass, yes, no measurable land mass.
Nigeria is apparently a country where irrelevant things are positioned to carry more weight than substantial issues.
It's like judging the best student of the year by say how well they dress, not on GPA, not on attendance, and not even on research efforts.
Who did this to Nigeria

Where is UNILAG in the list 🤔

Hezzyluv:
I had been to some of these Universities. UniAbuja is way... backward compared others. Na glorified glorified secondary. Anyway, na land them dey talk about Sha.

4 ur mind now..
U don think say.. naa sense u talk soo, abi?
