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),

I agree with your submission. It is sad that our educational system has degenerated to this level with our leaders not doing anything about it.I learnt that UNIBEN celibrated their being number one in nig when the saw that they no 47 in Africa according to the latest ranking- what a shame.
Our president keep saying that Nigeria will become one of 20 biggest economies of the world by the year 2020 as if it is 100 years from now. Is this our we are going to achieve that with our totally collapsed infrastructure, health,power and education?
We certainly need help.
It is quite unfortunate that our education system is far below standard,if as at now non of the nigerian universities has been among the best 6000 university in the world,our leaders should rise to their feet and do something.
I think O.A.U is being consistent in the rating. Kudos to the v.c prof. Michael Faborede. More effort is needed for better rating of the nigerian universities. Thanks
this is big shame to the nation not to be among top 6000 universities in the world.our education system is far below standard.president yaradua,do something to this big shame
dis is an absolute disappointment to a nation with a population as ours. it shows true reflection of how corrupted we are.anyway,nija buckle u!
i think o.a.u is one of the best universities
I would rather say that this is a call for all of us that graduated from Nigerian universities to rise up to the challenge. We need to focus on working on ourselves and make our school proud.
@ Sope,
Thanks for the visit and the comment. I do agree with OAU is one of the best universities in Nigeria. There is no doubt about this. I graduated from OAU and I know the stuffs that we are made up.
Why should we complain about the ranking of Nigerian universities when We as a nation have not being able to feed ourselves. How much has been invested into education in this country? Harvard University is richer than some states in this country! This is just to show how much money is flowing there. More money should be invested in Education. Also universities should become autonomous free from government interference.
On a lighter note university of Ibadan has and always will be the best university in Nigeria. Rectere Sapere Fons
It is very sad that to me to hear that none of Nigeria universities was ranked one of the best in Africa. And not one of the best 6000 in the word. I think our leaders has to do something about our educational system in Nigeria.
OAUIFE is ranked d number 1 in nigeria, but d fact is dat we are moving farward, there is no stoping, we might not b d 1st established university but we are d best as far as naija is concern. Cudos 2 faborode.
I think this is a shame to the nigeria government. I’m sure if the government put more fund on education like never b4 +changes will take place
I think this is a shame to the nigeria government. I’m sure if the government put more fund on education like never b4 +changes will take place.
oau(oba awon university-meaning king of all university)is still the best university in nigeria ui and others follow
It is saddening that after decades of independence, Nigeria is still no where to be found in world educational rankings.
The Government cannot fully solve the problems education is facing today, but effort is required on their part. As students of various nigerian universities we need to consider why other universities are rated higher than ours. We should not always blame the Government. Really, some public universities like IFE, U.I and UNIBEN are trying.
i dont actual think the government of various state should be put in place when it come to the problem most universities in the country are facing because the rectors or vice chancellors which is the topman in the university cannot actually manage what is been given out by government to compensiate the uni in terms of development, repairing of some basic equipment such as laboratory equipment etc, instead they are been used as their own source of survival to keep them going
Praising any University is a big shame on any body that praise his/her institution. I think what we need is to suggest for the government on how to develop our educational sector from the grass to the grace…
our government should join hands together and make sure that nigerians have standard education from the grassroot and see what will become of our youths years after.
oau na baba 4
everyone knows for sure that oau is the best out there while others still follow but yet our government still has a lot to do about our education sector. it is a shame that the university of pretoria in south africa still outpaces the best university in Nigera(OAU) with about 6000 spaces
i actually think obafemi awolowio university is the best university in nigeria so because they have the infastruccture and the have what it takes to be the best university in nigeria…
To say my mind, I am very ashamed of Nigerian universities. We all claim to be giant of Africa, but look at us we have no place in Africa not to mention of the world. For a saying says that; the strength of any society or country can be measured through it educational strength or capacity. Government should wake up and stop pretending as if they don’t know our place. We need change!!!
Actually OAU deserves to be rated over likes of UI, UNIBEN, UNAB, UNILORIN. This i support b/c of it’s consistency in the webometrics rating over the yrs and also ‘cos of the strong academic pursuit of OAU students
The government should be blamed. Just imagine what budget allocation on education has been reduced to when the 26% demand by ASUU even before this present administration has not been met. This and many more are reasons why we are still struggling to get there. Those schools that are listed have government that believes in education. No matter what, we are blessed with good stuffs in Nigeria and may God see us through to a better Nigeria.I believe in all Nigerian university.OAU still on top.
