The latest University Ranking of the popular 4iuc.org parades Obafemi Awolowo University as the third best in Nigeria. The ranking means the initially rated best University in the nation dropped two places down. Occupying the leading position now is the University of Ilorin while University of Lagos occupies the second spot. OAU occupies the 26th position in Africa and the 2157th position in the World Ranking.

The backdrop in the performance of Obafemi Awolowo University in this ranking may not be unconnected to the recent closure of the University by the school authority following demonstrations by the students over increment in school fees which manyhas labelled 'Inconsiderable' and 'Outrageous'.

FTC............... Tanke, tipper garage, PS, Mini(those days)
.

The only university in Nigeria without ASUU strike for over 12 years.

If Landmark that just kicked off topped old institutions who have professors and have been doing some research (which may not be top quality though) in Nigeria, then I for one do not believe in this rating.

#Team We are better by far

dnt worry urself that ranking is base on web popularity not academic excellence.

THIS RANKING IS BY WEB POPULARITY not ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.
.
I think private unis should lead becos people failed jamb lst yr and this yr.

Am not suprised tho, because the criteria been used ain't pertained to the academic excellence most times,but facilities and infrastructure.

#Team# Far from better

eledacedar: FTC............... Tanke, tipper garage, PS, Mini(those days)

Probitas doctrina.......... Better by far.

UNILORIN, be killing it since 1973, Lols, proudly rep my alma mata, proudly biochem, love my school....

Who cares? It's all about 'web presence' and we all know UNILORIN has the highest number of applicant in jamb followed by OAU, UNIBEN, UNIZIK and UNILAG.

So, I am not surprised.

going by your assumed stipulated criteria, unizik should have come 2nd cos they were the second most sorted after university for the just concluded jamb after unilorin.
so dude,your assumption holds no water.
though, I'm a student of Oau but if I have the opportunity to cross to unilorin I won't think twice before making the turn.

But the whole ranking is still by web presence sha.

Reasons why you wanna switch to UNILORIN? Because they are free from ASUU strike not academic excellence. What else?

Oau admit best student in p.utme. Unilorin P.utme is all about how good you are in English and current affair. And aswear, brilliant lads and lass will not be admitted in UNILORIN.

Btw, who cares

OAU are known by their inferiority complex and nothing else.

Great Ife my bum bum.

It just a mater of time landmark n covenant university will take over.Old tins have pass away its new school now.

Largas:

No one is arguing if they have professors or not. All I am saying is that they do not have researches to make them a top university in less than 3years of existence.

"Eniti o ni iru eni, o le mo iyi eni". This simply implies that you do not know the worth of OAU, Ife because you were not opportune to attend the university nevertheless, that doesn't give you the audacity to make such uncouth statements about the university.

The grass only looks greener on the other side doesn't suggest it is truly of greater nutrients that your side of the field.

Biko, go and attack Bolaji that made the statement not me.

He exhibited 'OAU' students inferiority complex.
