OAU & UNILORIN Fights Over Being The Nigerian Best University by Babafaros(m): 12:06am On Aug 18, 2014 |
The Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile- Ife, Osun State and the University of Ilorin, Kwara State have differed on which is the best university in Nigeria. While OAU is claiming to be the best, pointing to a ranking by Cybermetrics Lab-CSIC, based in Spain, UNILORIN is backing its position with a ranking carried out by the International Colleges and Universities Web Ranking. According to OAU Public Relations Officer, Mr. Biodun Olarewaju, the university has been for fourth consecutive times ranked first in Nigeria. Olarewaju said, “According to the latest ranking released in July, 2014 on its website: www.webometrics.info/ en/africa/nigeria OAU has been adjudged to have continuously recorded excellence in its area of research, academic, university governance and extensive deployment of ICT for its operations. “This is the first time that any Nigerian university would be so ranked and rated the first and the best for four times running, bringing to rest any contention from any quarter. But, a statement by the UNILORIN Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogu, said the university was adjudged best in Nigeria. According to him, the university is also 20th best university in Africa and 1,842nd in the world in the 2014 University Web Ranking. He said the result of the ranking conducted by International Colleges and Universities was released on July 29, 2014.

FROM UNILORIN WEBSITE Confirmed! Unilorin is Nigeria's No.1 varsity The pre-eminent position of the University of Ilorin among its peers in Nigeria has again been reaffirmed, as it has been ranked as the first university in the country. In the 2014 University Web Ranking conducted by 4 International Colleges and Universities (4ICU) and released last Tuesday (July 29, 2014),Unilorin was also adjudged the 20th best University in Africa and the 1842nd in the world. The 4ICU, an online ranking agency, is an international higher education search engine and directory reviewing accredited universities and colleges. For the latest exercise, it ranked about 11,307 colleges and universities by web popularity in over 200 countries. With the new ranking, the University of Ilorin's status as the nation's number one University has been given an international confirmation. Statistics released recently by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) after the last Unified Tertiary Institution Matriculations Examination (UTME) showed that the University of Ilorin was the most subscribed university in the country with a total of over 105,000 candidates seeking to enter the University in the 2014/2015 academic session. The University of Benin, Benin City came second in this respect with about 76,000 admission seekers. Since 2011, the University of Ilorin has maintained a steady rise among most preferred institutions by admission seekers in the country. In 2011, it ranked 8th; it ranked 5th in 2012; 2nd in 2013 and 1st this year. In the 2014 University Web Ranking, the University of Lagos comes second in Nigeria and 21st in Africa while the third position goes to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile- Ife, which also comes 26th in Africa. Also on the ranking table are: the University of Ibadan, 4th in Nigeria and 38th in Africa; the Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State, 5th in Nigeria and 59th in Africa; Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, 6th in Nigeria and 63rd in Africa; the Federal University, Minna, 7th in Nigeria and 71st in Africa; the University of Benin, 8th in Nigeria and 82nd in Africa; the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, 9th in Nigeria and 87th in Africa; and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, 10th in Nigeria and 89th in Africa. In his reaction to the new ranking, the Vice- Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, expressed delight, describing it as “the best ranking for the University so far.” Prof. Ambali congratulated all members of the University community on the new feat, urging all academic and non-academic staff to continue to put in their best in the service of the University. “The latest ranking is one of the best so far by any university in Nigeria”, the Vice-Chancellor said, adding that “we should strive to become the best in Africa by the next ranking. http://unilorin.edu.ng/index.php/en/237-unilorinnews/3973-confirmed-unilorin-is-nigeria-s-no-1-varsity 1 Like |

FROM OAU WEBSITE OAU Maintains Top Spot as Nigeria's Best University Contrary to widespread reports, and in further confirmation of its academic excellence and intellectual supremacy over and above other Universities and Institutions of Higher Learning, the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has, again, been rated the first and the best University in Nigeria and 19th in Africa. Reacting, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Bamitale Omole, attributed the giant strides recorded by his administration to the unparalleled research output, administrative acumen, technical know-how of the academic, administrative and technical staff of the University, adding that only a focused leadership, which is the hallmark of his management team, can produce such a spectacular feat. Professor Bamitale Omole, then applauded the dedication to duty of all stakeholders in making sure that the ideals of the founding fathers of OAU become a reality in its entirety. He urged the Federal Government not to relent in its efforts to improve the funding of education, particularly for the universities, so that the increased penchant for travelling abroad to undergo academic programmes that could be taught better by our lecturers here in Nigeria would be a thing of the past For more click on the links below: NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES RATING http://webometrics.info/en/Africa/Nigeria AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES RATING http://webometrics.info/en/Africa http://www.oauife.edu.ng/2014/08/oau-maintains-top-spot-as-nigerias-best-university/ 1 Like |

The only reason Unilorin is at all in the top 5 is simply bcoz of their "No strike" policy. Save for the aspect of strike,OAU is miles ahead of UNILORIN in ALL aspect. I repeat: if UNILORIN were to be going on strike anytime there is a nationwide strike in government owned universities,they will most definitely not "smell" the top 5 position. 7 Likes |

Unilorin can never be compared with oau, the only reason why unilorin is among the top 5 and has the highest number of aspirant in jamb is because they dont go on strike. If they striked like others school, i dont think unilorin we be among top 15 in any ranking. 1 Like |

I don't think this shameless pissing contest flatters either university. What are the big achievements of OAU, Ilorin or any Nigerian university for that matter? The Ebola issue has exposed our shame for the world to see once again...poor funding or no poor funding, there is little cutting edge research going on in our universities. Rather than indulging in this silly game, perhaps the universities should reflect more on how far they have let down the country? Best university in Nigeria? Pfft. Can there really be a "best" among underachievers? 2 Likes |
