OP, dis info is misleading... Hot cake ko, Hot dog ni, if u AR determined to work in oil and gas u beta go and do mechanical, petroleum or chemical engineering...if u enter geoscience it will take diving intervention to get oil job without a foreign MSc oo... And you forgot to mention dy usually overstay d 4yrs

What is UNN doing on that list when they can't boost of 3 sound Professors. All they have is Amobi, Mode, Ugwu that can't even define Geology in their own words..bunch o lunatics
How about Professor C. Okogbue?

Geology/ Geophysic is a hot cake now in Nigeria especially in the petroleum sector. The most important thing about the course(s) is its diversification. With the increasing demand of oil and the exploration of new oil wells, search of underground water in complex terrain, building of dams and bridges, just to mention a few, geology/ geophysics will still remain relevant even till the next century.

Graduate with a good result in the field will always smile to the bank when employed in any of the oil sector or construction firm or hydrological ministries/firms.

They are only few universities in Nigeria that can boast of good geology department with sound theoretical, practical and field knowledge.

Here are list of universities that give the best in geology and can also boast of sound and competent geologist both home and abroad.


1 Obafemi Awolowo University ( OAU)




2 University OF Ibadan




3 University OF Jos (UNIJOS)




4 University OF Benin ( UNIBEN)



5 University Of Nigeria Nsuka




6 University Of Maidiguri ( UNIMAD)



7 Federal University Of Technology Akure (FUTA)



8 Federal University Of Technology Owerri (FUTO)



9 Federal University Of Technology Mina.




10 University Of Portharcort ( UNIPORT)



11 University Of Ilorin ( UNIlORIN)




12 Delta State University Abraka



13 University Of Calabar. (UNICAL)



14 Federal University Of petroleum Resources (FUPRE )


15 Ajayi Crowther university Oyo.


So if you intend to study geology or geophysic, you need to consider any of the listed university. They are the best in the field of Geoscience.

So what is mis-leading about the information. Everybody can't study engineering. Engineer has his role in oil exploration and geologist has his role.

Engineer has his role in construction of bridges and dams and geologist has his role.

Who does the geo-seismic survey in oil exploration? Who determine the shear strength of a soil or rock during dam or bridges construction?

Please don't say what you don't know... just learn...

Your school is not there doesn't mean you should insult me...

Geologist are very civil but you didn't display such trait. You talk like those that exist during the precambrian ... please wise up because you are product of the Holocene...

You might be good as well as your school but ABU is not among the first 15 schools. It might be among the first 20 or 25. ABU geology is living by past glory...

Please be civil next time you talk with people....

The only way 4 dat list to be complete is to exclude Unilag fom that list..Geoscience dept @ Unilag is a write off,Only few lectures are active..Infact just one in Geophysics(Ayolabi)..Jambites if u really want 2 do geoscieces ..Run away from unilag like a plague..dey will only take ur money and adds no knowledge
that's why my list didn't include Unilag... geology is still emerging there.... Geology is in the holocene age in unilag

Exploration cost more than production. They take engineers... yes. why will you compare engineering which is a faculty to geology\geophysic which is a dept.

The exploration team consist of geologist, geophycist, chemical engineers, petroleum engineers, mechanical engineers,... maybe two or more for each depending on the degree of exploration. So what is your own...

Good things never come easy. There are still many engineers out there with good results that are jobless... so don't limit it to geologist...

Job is grace not your area of discipline...

hmmmm... I laugh you... the list is of no order of preference...


To correct you... UNIMAID was the second best in geology after OAU. just that the BOKO-HARAM is the major problem drawing the school back... but they still top despite the insecurity issue.

Unilorin is good... I didn't dispute that...
