NUC DENIES ‘2013 UNIVERSITY RANKING’

The attention of the National Universities Commission (NUC) has been drawn to some purported lists, making the rounds on the internet, of the ‘Top 100’ and ‘Top 50’ universities in Nigeria, which were alleged to be the outcome of a non-existing ‘annual university rankings’ by the National University Commission.
It has to be stated, unequivocally, that the lists did not emanate from the NUC. The Commission therefore totally dissociates itself from them. For the avoidance of doubt, NUC’s Mandate includes, but is not limited to, the:
• Approval of courses and programmes
• Determination and maintenance of Minimum
Academic Standards;
• Monitoring of universities;
• Accreditation of academic programmes and
institutions; as well as
• Provision of guidelines and processing of applications
for the establishment of private universities.
The first ranking of Nigerian universities by the NUC, in
2002, was based on the performance of the
universities’ academic programmes in the 1999 and
2000 accreditation exercises.
The second ranking, in 2004, was based on data on the
following:
• Percentage of academic programmes of the university
with full accreditation status,
• Compliance with carrying capacity (measure of the
degree of deviation from carrying
capacity)
• Proportion of the academic staff of the university at
professorial level
• Foreign content (staff)
• Foreign content (students)
• Staff with outstanding academic achievements
• Research output
• Student completion rate
• Ph.D graduate output for the year
• Stability of university calendar
• Student-to-PC ratio
The results of the above were duly published by the
Commission and the same will be done for future
exercises.
For the purpose of clarity, NUC has been conducting
the accreditation of the programmes offered by
Nigerian universities since 1990. In May, 2006, it
considered introducing institutional accreditation to
complement programme accreditation. Institutional
accreditation is a process of evaluating the activities of
an institution against the criteria established by an
accrediting agency.
These include governance and administration, financial
stability, admissions, personnel services, institutional
resources, students’ academic achievements,
institutional effectiveness, and relationships with
constituencies inside and outside the institution.
Following wide consultations, the instruments for this
exercise were designed and pilot-tested in six
universities (Three federal, one state and two private)
in 2010.
The instruments were fine-tuned, based on the findings
of the pilot exercise and NUC was ready for the full-
blown institutional accreditation, which took off on 27
November, 2011. A total of 26 universities, selected
based on the fact that at least 70 percent of all their
programmes had full accreditation, were involved in
the exercise.
The above is the build-up to the next ranking exercise
by the NUC, which outcome will be made public,
appropriately. Stakeholders in the university education
sub-sector and the general public are, therefore,
advised to ignore the spurious lists of ‘Top 100’ and
‘Top 50’ universities being peddled by those who
appear bent on causing disaffection in the Nigerian
University System (NUS).

They denied ALL ranking. They've never conducted one before

non-existing is the keyword there.
