The 2015 ranking for top 1,000 universities in the has been published by Centre for World University Rankings and no Nigerian University made the list again.
USA has 55 universities in the top 100 whilst UK has only 7!
African Universities that made the top 1000 list are Universities of Witwatersrand,Cape Town, Pretoria in South Africa. Ain Shams University, Mansoura University & Alexandria University in Egypt and University of Makerere in Uganda.
The CWUR rates the universities by measuring the quality of education and training of students as well as the prestige of the faculty members and the quality of their research without relying on surveys and data submitted by universities.
CWUR stated that it uses 8 objective and robust indicators to rank the world's top 1000 universities.
The 8 indicators are 1. Quality of education, 2. Alumni employment, 3. Quality of faculty, 4. Publications, 5. Influence, 6. Citations, 7. Broad impact, 8. Patents.
Let us hope that the promise of the new government to revamp the education sector will yield fruit and result in our seeing at least one Nigerian University in 2016 CWUR top 1000 Universities.
Non of our Universities is among world's top 1000 Universities? i can't believe this. I hope our leaders hears this and begin to take things serious, because if things continues this way then i am sorry for Nigeria ooo.

No surprise there. With reduced cut off mark for JAMB, it will take 100 yes before naija uni can make that list.
ReplyDeleteUnless our leaders sit up and actually get serious with the fight against corruption, no 9aija university will make the top 1000 list in 100 years.
ReplyDeleteHow can naija make the list when jamb cut off mark has been reduced to admit dullards into universities.
ReplyDeleteWishful thinking that Nigerian university will enter top 1000 next year. Have you been to some of these so called universitie?
ReplyDelete@anonymous, you are sooo right. Most of the universities are just glorified secondary schools.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with all the negative views. We can do it if we try hard by trully revamping our education sector.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, Nigerian universities used to be the best in Africa so we can get back there.
I remember when a lot of foreign students applied to come and study in Nigeria for their exchange programs. The good old days.
ReplyDeleteMy university in the eastern Nigeria must be the worst in terms of equipments. The library is empty , computer science students go to cyber café to practice because not enough computers. How can we make it like this?
ReplyDeleteOoshe! Solution is to build my own university.
ReplyDeleteR we not expecting 2 much? After all we r 3rd world.
