LANDMARK UNIVERSITY BREAKS NEW GROUND; EMERGES 5th IN NIGERIA, 1ST AMONG PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES

vertical

After its weeklong convocation activities which elicited an avalanche of encomiums, commendations, accolades and votes of confidence from leading professionals, scholars, royalty, top government functionaries and eminent members of the international diplomatic corps, Landmark University has, for the umpteenth time, proven its unalloyed commitment to the extension of the frontiers of academic excellence in Nigeria by upstaging ten universities to move from 15th to 5th position in the latest ranking of Nigerian universities.

In what could best be described as a watershed in the history of private/missionary involvement in the advancement of tertiary education in Nigeria, Landmark University broke a new ground and achieved an unprecedented feat as the first private university to rank among the top five universities in Nigeria in the Webometrics ranking released on Sunday, 27th of July, 2014.

Landmark University (established in 2011), according to the latest ranking, towers tall as the Best Private University in Nigeria, and holds the 5th position among 112 Nigerian universities, trailing behind University of Ilorin (established in 1975), University of Lagos (established in 1962), Obafemi Awolowo University (established in 1962) and the University of Ibadan (established in 1948) which ranked 1-4 respectively.

It is interesting to note that the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. Mathew Ola-Rotimi Ajayi, had in his convocation speech on Friday, 25th of July, asserted that “with this kind of start (alluding to the unprecedented successes that have trailed the university’s steps since inception), one doesn’t need to be clairvoyant to project unequivocally that we will emerge the top university in Nigeria in the next two years and then cross to the global stage which is our destination.”

Just two days after this projection, the dream has witnessed a tremendous boost as the young institution, by dint of commitment and passion, moved from 15th in January 2014, to 5t.h in July 2014.

sure tis webometrics, but that's just how it all began with CU till they get to 10 position on 4icu

Webometrics judgement is always based on how much their website was visited....... I prefer 4icu to webometrics
