Unilag, 9th Best In Africa? How True by shopisky(m): 2:23pm On Jan 02, 2013 |
A recent ranking of African Universities by Africa.com has placed the University of Lagos in the 9th position. Cairo University, Egypt ranks first on the list followed by yet another University in Egypt, American University in Cairo. According to a statement on their website, “While students from across the continent continue to move abroad to study at leading learning institutions in the U.S. and Europe, Africa boasts its own league of great universities. Presented below is Part I of Africa.com’s Top 10 Universities in Africa. Part II will feature the Top 10 Universities in South Africa, a country that is home to enough academic heavyweights to populate its own list.” Here is the list of 10 Universities ranked top in Africa: 1. Cairo University – Egypt 2. American University in Cairo – Egypt 3. Mansoura University – Egypt 4. Makerere University – Uganda 5. University of Nairobi – Kenya 6. University of Dar es Salaam – Tanzania 7. University of Botswana – Botswana 8. University of Ghana – Ghana 9. University of Lagos – Nigeria 10. Ashesi University – Ghana The Statement on University of Lagos Established in 1962 with the aim of training professionals for the newly independent Nigeria, the University of Lagos is a comprehensive university that strives to learn through “knowledge and research.” The University houses nine faculties, and the Medical School is home to three faculties. With an emphasis on research, the University’s faculty has published over 1,700 papers, with the most publications coming out of the medical, science, and engineering faculties. In celebration of its Golden Jubilee, the University of Lagos will host a three-day research conference and fair with the theme “Research and Innovation for Economic Development in a Globalising Nigeria.” Notable alumni include Nigerian television actor Francis Agu; publisher and film producer Wale Adenuga; Chairperson of the Nigerian Government’s Economic and Financial Crimes, Farida Mzamber Waziri, and HIV/LGBT activist Bisi Alimi. The criteria used for the ranking include the following: 1) undergraduate and graduate school reputation among higher education peers; 2) student selectivity for entering undergraduate class; 3) quality and quantity of faculty research, including depth of research facilities and engagement beyond immediate community, and 4) international student ratio—the degree to which institution draws students from outside of its national boundaries. Based on the criteria used, do you think University of Lagos among all other Universities deserved to be the only Nigerian University on that list? |
