OAU celebrates latest varsity ranking
For the fourth consecutive time, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has been adjudged the best in curricular, research, academic and general administration of the university system.
A statement issued and signed by its Public Relations Officer of OAU, Abiodun Olarewaju, said the latest ranking of the university by an internationally acclaimed institute, cybermetrics of Spain, has confirmed that adequate knowledge is passed on to the students while in the school.
Meanwhile, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Bamitale Omole, has described the rating as unprecedented, adding that, “this is the first time in the history of university education in Africa where a Nigerian university would be adjudged, rated and ranked the first and the best for the fourth time running.
Omole emphasised the need for the private sector to partner with the government in providing financial and material resources to meet the needs of the universities, particularly in the provision of structural and infrastructure and facilities.
The Vice-Chancellor lauded the dedication to duty of all academic and administrative staff, whose personal and group sacrifice have made the new ranking possible.
He added that his administration would continue to provide the needed leadership to all, adding that training and retraining of staff both locally and internationally would be the his priority.
Omole said that he would not rest on his oars until Obafemi Awolowo University becomes the best university in Africa.

Perhaps you should read the post all over again. I guess you were in a haste to reply before.

It doesn't change the fact that the educational system in Naija is poor and not up to standard at all.
