I was just reading the World’s Universities ranking for African and still find out that no Nigerian University has been able to find itself even within the top 6000 in the world. This is no doubt the true reflector of the quality of the Nigerian education system. The few Nigerian Universities that make the top 100 in Africa are University of Ibadan (57 in Africa, 6304 in the world), Obafemi Awolowo University (69 in Africa, 6645 in the world),
OLUWATOSIN Emmanuel's interest in Information Communication and Technology was formed when he saw a computer for the first time in 1995, while still in secondary school, after which he went on to obtain a certificate in Computer Appreciation.
His good sense of vision and commitment made him to get involved in various Youth Empowerment projects across the country. His major drive is to see a shift from meetings to events, ensuring that words give way to action - thereby addressing the need to step up from being end users to innovative minds. He is a member of various youth-led initiatives and organization like WSIS Youth, African Youth ICT4D Network, Nigerian Anti-Scam Network, African Role Models etc.
i think federal polytechnic nbida is the best poly in nigeria [bida standard
let nigeria put fund on education becos is only education can make nigeria better more than any other country in africa.
except round peg are put in round hole,nigeria education system in general will remain on sick bed.
D debate of any nigerian university nt rankd amg d top best universities in Africa has long time been. VCs of various schs are nt transforming as regards dis,govt is nt even concernd.2 dis effect,i fink we students need 2 rise nd get something done which i beliv 2 a great extent can b sucesful.wel despite al these,1 cant bt stil pt out d fact dat UI STIL REMAINS AND MAINTAINS ITS STANDARD AS D 1ST AND BEST UNIVESITY IN NIGERIA.other coments aside dis is based on sentiment.u all know now.abi e mo ni?
I believe nd very sure dat our educational standard in nigeria is very poor if any nigeria universities can’t occupy 100 space in africa den we are semi illerate nd under develop country in d continent.shame to OAU nd oders.
Nigeria education is very i plead with the government to support and give us more standard education like other country so that our children will not be traveling another country for standard education
I believe dat universities in nigeria are also good but if d govt can try n do some improvisation based on technology, den i believe dat dey can be amg d best universities in d world,bcos i note dat if students travel abroad 2 sch,dey lead dem in class over dere.dere is a saying dat says,”owu a ni la n gbe laru ge”.GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
we Nigerian will need some perfect lecturals in our schools
Futa still the most serious university in nigeria.
it is a pathetic situation for us, however, let us hope for better days ahead under President Goodluck Jonathan
we nid to monitor our university vry wel, some lecturers dey fil as if de are force to do there job
Provisn of infrastructural facilities by d government,practical &applicative usage of anytin bin tot in class,seminars organise by d university 4 studnts,accreditatn of courses b4 startin in any university,regulatn of d no of studnts in each depts.,appointmnt of competent administrator in any university ar som of d tins dat shuld b put in2 consideratn,4 Nigeria universities 2meet up2 d international standard.
we were rated low in d world nt in terms of brilliance nor intellectualism bt on lack of modern infrastructures,conducive learning environment & access to internet facilities…na God go save us..up OAU_Oba Awon Uni.
Why our students travel 2 others countries 2 school & they will be d best over there?
Yeah! Is unfortunate. Yes if u check it base on structures and fascilities, no if is base on intelectual ability and briliant capability even d so call white knws.
It quite unfortunate dat we as a student we not rise to reality of life bt our atention is base on d best university here which is no where to be found in africa let alone world i think it high time we prayed 4 d development in education area and all others area dat needed to be fulfilled to meeting up with standard universities in the world thanks
Any right thinking Nigerian graduate that sees this world ratings of our Universities should bury his face in shame other than showering undeserved regrettable praises on his or her University of graduation .All universities in Nigeria have similar set ups with lecturers being exchanged here and there the products u can be rest assured are similar in all respect, all falling below 6000 in World rating .There should be a grassroot revolution of our Educational system to address this unacceptable position we are said to occupy
Well it is a pity we are far below average in our educational system. Everyone is saying its a shame nigeria is not among the top 6000…in the world. Now let me ask, how many students are doing thier research, staying awake long nights to study their books? The government is not helping but there is no excuse to failure. Even when our universities are not standard, at least the little they have should bring out the ‘you’ in you if there is determination. Honestly, everyone is contributing to our low standard of education. Let’s sit up so that we can do more!
Yeah! Indeed, a reflector of our educational system but this is no time to point and make accusation because as we all know the educational system is a resposibility of every Nigerian including stakeholders. I think all that is needed is a result based, effective and durable structure that is hoped to make the difference. All I can say is let Nigerian work, wish and hope for the best that is yet to come.
goodluck our president is the only man that i thought will deliver this country but ended up a man without head but wooden artifact as head. from 10 [point agenda to 7 point agenda now its 5 point agenda next it will be 1 point agenda which will be corruption in full force. were are we heading to? very soon we will all be sold out without our notice.
Although the ranking of university is based on alot of factor, research being the most of them. ranking of universiy is a function of graduate outputed
The lack of diction, grammatical placement, spelling proficiency, eloquence and choice of words of almost all the commenters on this site is enough of an indicator of the poor level of education in our country. Most of us can BARELY EVEN SPELL! Not to talk of composition of words. It’s sad, but education does not start and end in school. It starts and ends with the individual.
I weep for my country. We are a country of willing illiterates.
Nigeria has a very long way to go, our leaders are not helping issues God help.
University of Nigeria Nsukka still the Best. Talk of Academic standard, infact talk of intrinsic and extrinsiç criteria. UNN still stand tall.
It isa big shame for nigeria university to be at no 6340 in the world. Nigeria the whole giant of africa. Lecturers and student are not to be blame, it is our leader who take our education for granted. I know all this we stop one day.

Well as far as Nigerian universities are concern base on these critaria’accademic prowess,researches and findings,facilities staff strength,administration and results of the students.If we put all these into considerations we will see that is Obafemi Awolowo University,Ile Ife is the best in Nigeria.
