A Nigerian University, has been listed among the best universities in the world: The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, has been graded the best in the country and among the best 2,000 in the world in the latest Webometrics ranking released in January this year.

The Webometrics University Ranking, which provides indicators for more than 12,000 universities in the world, is based on university web presence, visibility and web access.

The ranking system measures how strongly a university is present in the web by its own web domain, sub-pages, rich files and published scholarly articles.

According to the ranking system, web presence is a reliable indicator of the global performance and prestige of the universities and could serve as an indirect way to measure efficiency of universities in the performance of their tripartite function of teaching, research and knowledge transfer.

The Vanguard reports that spokesman of UNN, Chief Okwun Omeaku made this known at Nsukka, saying that the improved rating of the institution was not unconnected with the enhanced research efforts in the university following the Vice-Chancellor’s encouragement and financial reward system.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the replacement of 13 vice chancellors of Nigerian universities.

Twelve of them are federal ones, and Vincent Tenebe, the vice chancellor of the National Open University, has also been relieved of his position. All these institutions were established by the former president, Goodluck Jonathan.

chiefolododo:
2000th position na top list?

I wonder o

Could the rise in dollar $ be the cause?

that doesn't call for celebration na!!!

E 4 beta say we nr dey

Lol

Dis dos nt change a tin dat buhari is a dullard of daura

Until the Nigerian labour market grow hungry enough to attain same success height by absorbing a meaningful percent of the yearly graduates there iis no cause for celebration

Going to the best of schools without a good job iis simply evil.

#MyCandidOpinion

2000 position and u're celebrating, my people perish because they lack wisdom






Check ma zignature below

Because it is UNN, I am now reading all manner of comments. If it was UNILAG (abi MAULAG) or IFE or any of those old citadels living in past glory, we will be seeing and reading accolades from students who were probably mediocre even while in those institutions. It is a Nigerian institution, you people should have an open mind about these things.

I am not a graduate of UNN, so do not tailor your poisonous dart along those lines.

uniuyo should be on that list

What's with all these news about Unn being the best university in Nigeria... Una wan steal am.

anyway when you consider there are more than 12,000 universities under consideration and there are more than 2500 in US alone, so UNN is better than at least 500 Universities in US, mushroom or not,

UNN is in the same league with those that you mentioned, in fact UNN is about the first indigenous University in Nigeria when you consider that it was established in 1960 while UI was an affiliate of University of London before 1962 when it became independent.
