.....Do you know professor hezekiah Oluwasanmi and professor Oladele Ajose were just professors at University of ibadan college of medicine?...Those are OAU pioneering VCs

authenticjimmy:
Can someone help... I culd nt find UniAbuja in d list.

vascey:


Thanks man. Higher institutions are not ranked based on infrastructures alone. Tenure for professors, publications, affiliations with other great schools, even the clout of their alumni etc. While I agree that CU graduates are very good products (considering those I have worked with), there are certain areas where only time and focus can get the school to. Take for instance funding, this year alone the federal ministry of health, per the budget, plans to expend 8.5bn naira in UNN teaching hospital. That is a a lot of money and not an amount most private universities can contend with. This amount should be for training, tenure, sponsorships, salaries, infrastructure of just the college of medicine. When other factors are also taken into consideration, you would realize that the basis for ranking may not have factored in a lot.

I definitely don't know more than the NUC. But for the sake of transparency, it would be great if the basis of assessment is also made public.

FYI, I'm not a graduate or student of UNN.

How do you mean? We should be ranked like 99th right? What's so unique about those trailing us?

Thanks for the information with a source provided. I rated them high not for infrastructures, because they don't even have nice structures when compared to the likes of OAU and to an extent Uniben.

Please note that huge budget doesn't translate to effective usage, which is the case of most of the government owned institutions. Federal universities (especially those of first generation) have always gotten the highest portion of the budget for education, but huge percentage of it ends up in the account of the top ranking officials of these schools. Which is a different case in most privately run businesses, where accountability is not joked with. This however doesn't mean those private schools ain't got enough, especially those affiliated with populated religious establishment. Where members are asked to pay some dues for running of these schools despite the huge tuition fee they charge their students. lol.

Some other points you made are other reasons I said the school is lagging, and why they have not been rated above the few Fed universities they trail.

That moment when you graduate with a 1st class from U.I(1st) and after 5 years of joblessness managed to get a job of 47k and the person with a 2:2 from OOU(97th) got a job of 200k immediately after NYSC.

Meaning: Only effect these rankings have is for graduates in every annual top 10 ranking to console themselves. When you get to the job market, it's all man for himself!

Nice one JP. I think we are basically on the same page. You mentioned, though, that you didn't rate them high because of infrastructure; care to discuss why you rated them high? Just curious cos I've not been to any private school. I totally agree with you when it comes to accountability and mission running schools. A classical example is the impact of mission in anambra public schools since management was handed back to them. Phenomenal! Yet, budget vs actual is a standard problem or issue world over. While I cannot categorically claim they mismanage their funds, I can assign a margin of difference/error to expected results vs budgeted results. Association of certified fraud examiners claim the average cost of fraud per organization is 5% of revenue of allocation in this case. If you take away 5% from 8.5bn, the balance is still a tall order. That's just one aspect still. Anyway, I'm happy to know that CU and other private universities are pulling their weight. I'm sure school calendars, cultism etc are also considered and the likes of CU would rank tops in such aspects due to their zero tolerance.

Thanks for your response.

Cheers
