I don't knw why people are so Jealous of uniport.UNIPORT being ranked best by WEF doesn't imply that uniport is the best in all respect.Each of these bodies have different criteria for their ranking.we ought to be hppy that the skul made 9ja proud instead of making disparaging or derogatory remarks.
