No doubt, Abia State University is the best purpose built university in the Southeast that resembles a higher institution one finds in advanced countries such as USA. Unfortunately, subsequent Imo governors and now Abia governors have been unable to improve on the architectural masterpiece Chief Sam Onunaka Mbakwe left for posterity. If there were an Igbo awolowo in terms of investment in education, it is clearly Dee Sam Mabakwe.
ESUT would have been the next best university if they stuck to it's beautiful master plan. The syndrome of building cheap mushroom structures is gradually creeping in, distorting the original master plan.

UNN has lots of heavy old structures, but it is still a beautiful school. UNZIK, is good academically, but still needs to develop it's permanent site orderly rather than the current piecemeal approach, one building per year. In order to match it's impressive academic prowess with a befitting, wonderful university campus environment. Adopting the pattern used in Abia state university, where pine and palm trees were used to completely transform the campus to resemble what one finds abroad will do a lot to catapult UNIZIK to among st the world's most prestigious schools.
FUTO and Umudike are just there, but they are very good academically. EBSU ,ANSU and IMSU need to focus on creating a beautiful master plan for their permanent sites.They hold a lot of promise if they have visionary leaders focused on creating world class universities rather than more of the usual mushroom structures they like to call "temporary" scattered haphazardly across the university campus landscape.
At least Peter Obi gave a whopping N5 billion naira to ANSU for their permanent site at Igbariam, that should enable a visionary Vice Chancellor adequate funds to implement a beautiful master-plan for a world class institution. Hopefully, the ANSU V.C will pay attention to providing a truly conducive university environment by grassing open spaces and generously using trees and flowers all over the campus such as in ABSU shown below.

well said! I cannot but agree with you in all its entirety!

FUTO should be 3rd on that list. Wch lecture hall look like shiit? Engineering lecture hall? Abi Sosc? Abi SMAT? Abi Hall Of Mercy? Kai! This list is full of sentiments. Imagine EBSU better than Futo? Even with the new buildings. As of this year, I was in FUTO to collect my cert, FUTO should be 3rd on that list. Is not about renovating 3 buildings oh. Asides UNN and. UNZIK, FUTO should have top the list. Been to UNN, heard scores of UNIZIK, been to EBSU. Abeg adjust that list and give FUTO it's rightful position before I vex.

I visited MOUAU, every lecture hall has a projector and a laptop, that school get swag for academics die.........eko ooni baje ooooo

Lest I forget, MOUAU is the only school have been to that has cctv cameras all over the school, the newly constructed hostel has more than 20 gigantic buildings and all rooms are selfcon with its own toilet and bathroom, I rarely see this in other nigerian universities...........eko ooni baje oooo

IGBOSON1: I'm impressed with the little i've seen of Abia University! ESUT needs to up their game in terms of landscaping......they should borrow a leaf from Abia Uni by greening up and properly demarcating their open spaces! Check the Enugu thread for what i mean!

And the structures look solid too! If T.A Orji is responsible for this, then i guess he's not so bad after all!

those structures were sam mbakwe's legacy! His succesors only came to siphon money and didn't do a jack about the school. I think the writer that quoted me just said it all! Orji uzor Kalu diverted most of the funds to build his own private Uni at Igbere!

ABSU is the finest school in the East when it comes to general beauty and environmental friendliness but the credit is not Mbakwe's as it was built in the late 80s or early 90s long after Mbakwe was out of Government. ABSU just like Imo Airport were built with contributions from the Imo State citizens as Nigeria was too poor then for States to embark on such projects. Ike Nwachukwu deliberately left the area earmarked for it around Mbaise and went to build it in his area of Isuikwuato. Today it has been seeded to Abia while the Airport was seeded to Imo.

This is what makes a school and MOUAU has it.

Being a good school isn't all about aesthetics or structures, its all about infrastructure for students. MOUAU is equipped as far as nigeria is concerned.

oluwasegunfummi: Being a good school isn't all about aesthetics or structures, its all about infrastructure for students. MOUAU is equipped as far as nigeria is concerned.

You are absolutely right in that sense. MOUAU probably has the best equipped research institute. I've had some foreigners visit Umudike for some research and came back telling me they never knew such thing existed in Nigeria. That it is comparable to what obtains in advanced countries.

Kasynpaulsyn1997: . if nah top 6,then futo might be the 6th buh.....

You are just another funny teenager. where is FUTO? same question everyone is asking and it makes no sense to you? how on earth can ebsu, absu, imsu, unizik and all the other secondary schools be ranked ahead of FUTO? only an insane fellow will make such unimaginable compilation.

As far as am concerned, no state university should be on that list, absu would have made it, but the school is just to dead academically, haven gone to most universities in the east, this is my list:

UNN
FUTO
UNIZIK
MOUAU
Others are still learning........eko ooni baje oooo

You see most state university students going to the federal universities to copy project works, the federal universities in the east make researches and exhume new findings, that is what makes a university, we should stop deluding ourselves, go online and search for the researches carried out in UNN, UNIZIK, FUTO, MOUAU, most of those state universities are just joking academically, most of them sort lecturers to graduate, which rarely happen in the schools mentioned above...........eko ooni baje oooo

bros!! Virtually all schools now have projectors and digital board! NO BIG DEAL About it! As far back as 2005 session, during prof. Mkpa's administration as the vice chancellor of ABSU, the school already got electronic Library, projectors in few of the classes then. I left that school in 2009. If I were still a student, would have bombarded this thread with massive impressive pictures! In terms of academics, Absu aint doing bad as well. Back then our mode of exam was MCQ marked electronically aimed at curbing exam malpractice! For pete's sake! Guys should stop using WEBOMETRICK ranking as yard stick to judge academic performance of uni's or which Uni is the best! That's the mistake most peeps do here! And please! Before saying your school is the best or whatever, make sure you have full knowledge of other schools before arriving at conclusion! Don't just sit your ass down in your room and come up with one crapy list. Before I filled my jamb form in 2003, I personally visited most universities like UNIJOS, ABU, UNICAL, LAG, MOUA, IMSU, UNIBEN, UI, LASU, before I finnaly settled for UNN and ABSU! There's nothing about this schools that I don't know!!! Digitally wise, I think UNILORIN is still ahead of any school for now! I just learnt freshers are even entitled to Free lecture Ipads and all that!

am not a student of MOUAU, I just visited the school for a work recently and I was impressed. Mind you, not all halls in ABSU has digital facilities, its of no use lying to defend ABSU.

I chose FUTO over Unical and Unilag if u must know. Your point, am sorry to say is pointless. U've not been to Futo, and u still had to push it under? As for Absu, my sister graduated from absu, so I also visited the school quite often, and I can say most of you are basing your grading on few new or renovated buildings. Buildings don't only make a school, what's inside the building is very important. I remember rejecting a UniUyo admission to read computer engineering, cuz they had No computer in that dept. Hope u get my drift?

dude please get off my Mention!! I'm done with this Topic!

Cjcrane, you have made some points though..

UNIZIK no doubt is one of youngest universities in Nigeria but has grown to overtake so many universities in Nigeria both in edifices/structures and academic excellence.

The school has some of the best refined lecturers in Nigeria and offers top flight services in academics..

Presently UNIZIK is among the first 3 most sought after universities in Nigeria.

I will take pictures and post..

TOP best 5 Nigerian universities both academics and infrastructure:

- UNIZIK

- UNN

- OAU

- UNIBEN

- UNILORIN

@ op, it is not possible to mention the top 5 schools in the south east without mentioning ABSU, its just impossible.

mrking3: After UNN and FUTO, I think ABSU still have better structures than the rest schools apart from ESUTH which is newly built. Post pictures here to back up your point. We are now in a photo age.

Unizik pass una in terms of structures by Far.
