In spite of repeated workers strike that held
down academic and other activities at the
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology
(LAUTECH), Ogbomoso in the last one year, the
institution has been ranked as the best state
university in Nigeria.
A statement by the institution’s Head of Public
Affairs, Mr Lekan Fadeji, said the latest ranking
by Webometric, which puts the Institution as
14 overall in the country and 3680 in the World,
goes to confirm that despite the
debilitating effect of the industrial crisis,
LAUTECH’s leadership position among its peers
remains unchallenged.
Reacting to the news, the Vice-Chancellor of the
university, Prof. Adeniyi Gbadegesin, reiterated
the commitment of management to ensuring that
the Institution’s present financial position is not
allowed to affect its determination to train
eggheads to man the various technological
spaces of the future.
He added that the Governing Council, led by
Prof. Oladapo Afolabi, has assured that whatever
the university needs to stay on top would be
encouraged.
LAUTECH had in the past been named the
number one state university in Nigeria by various
ranking organizations, including the National
Universities Commission (NUC).
Webometrics ranking of world universities, also
known as Ranking Web of Universities, is a
ranking system for the world’s universities based
on a composite indicator that takes into account
both the volume of the web contents (number of
web pages and files) and the visibility and their
impacts.
