UNILAG Ranked 9th Position Among Top 10 Universities In Africa by fatdon2(m): 8:26am On Nov 29, 2012 |
A recent ranking of African Universities by Africa.com has placed the University of Lagos in the 9th position. Cairo University, Egypt ranks first on the list followed by yet another University in Egypt, American University in Cairo. According to a statement on their website, “While students from across the continent continue to move abroad to study at leading learning institutions in the U.S. and Europe, Africa boasts its own league of great universities. Presented below is Part I of Africa.com’s Top 10 Universities in Africa. Part II will feature the Top 10 Universities in South Africa, a country that is home to enough academic heavyweights to populate its own list.” Here is the list of 10 Universities ranked top in Africa: 1. Cairo University – Egypt 2. American University in Cairo – Egypt 3. Mansoura University – Egypt 4. Makerere University – Uganda 5. University of Nairobi – Kenya 6. University of Dar es Salaam – Tanzania 7. University of Botswana – Botswana 8. University of Ghana – Ghana 9. University of Lagos – Nigeria 10. Ashesi University – Ghana The Statement on University of Lagos: Established in 1962 with the aim of training professionals for the newly independent Nigeria, the University of Lagos is a comprehensive university that strives to learn through “knowledge and research.” The University houses nine faculties, and the Medical School is home to three faculties. With an emphasis on research, the University’s faculty has published over 1,700 papers, with the most publications coming out of the medical, science, and engineering faculties. In celebration of its Golden Jubilee, the University of Lagos will host a three-day research conference and fair with the theme “Research and Innovation for Economic Development in a Globalising Nigeria.” Notable alumni include Nigerian television actor Francis Agu; publisher and film producer Wale Adenuga; Chairperson of the Nigerian Government’s Economic and Financial Crimes, Farida Mzamber Waziri, and HIV/LGBT activist Bisi Alimi. The criteria used for the ranking include the following: 1) undergraduate and graduate school reputation among higher education peers; 2) student selectivity for entering undergraduate class; 3) quality and quantity of faculty research, including depth of research facilities and engagement beyond immediate community, and 4) international student ratio—the degree to which institution draws students from outside of its national boundaries. www.bellanaija.com/2012/11/28/university-of-lagos-ranks-9th-position-among-the-top-10-universities-in-africa-by-africa-com/ 1 Like

Did you check the methodology of the ranking? Until it is ascertained that it is based majorly on merits and what Students might achieve in the school, it becomes just another ranking and anyone can do that btw. acccording to webometrics, UNIben is 1st in Nigeria followed by Auchi polytechnic . Link- http://www.webometrics.info/en/Ranking_africa and their methodology? Objectives and motivation Point is, it is better to make the best use of the oportunity you have in ur institution than chasing shadows. |

It depends on who is ranking and what's the ranking criteria. Am surprise no South African university is among the first 10 universities in Africa, which is not possible.

That list is flawed. Till you have Universities from all the countries in Africa, South Africa especially, you cannot claim to have a credible 'Top 10 Universities in Africa list'. My 2 cents. Thsiis a more credible list: 2012 WORLD UNIVERSITY WEB RANKING Top 100 Universities and Colleges in Africa http://www.4icu.org/topAfrica/ Very surprising University of Nigeria, Nsukka didn't make top 100 in Africa while you have Unilag, Uni-Illorin, Ife, UI, UniBen, UniPort, University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ahmadu Bello University, UniJos. When did Uni of Agriculture Abeokuta become more prominent than the great Lions Den?? Oh well... |

It is an irony that majority of the guys commenting on this thread are " educated illiterates" . The article stated it clearly that " Part II will feature the Top 10 Universities in South Africa, a country that is home to enough academic heavyweights to populate its own list” , yet some of the commenters above still questioned the reason why South Africa universities are not included, thus pronouncing the ranking as fake. 3 Likes |
