Harvard university is without doubt one of the best universities in the world. Founded in 1636;it's the oldest higher institution of learning in the USA. It is well known for its big endowment funds and high grade researches carried out in the fields of sciences. Its medical and law schools are the most coveted in the world. Among its vast alumni are eight presidents of the USA, Microsoft and Facebook founders and hosts of great entrepreneurs within and outside the United states as well as notable scientists. Back here In Nigeria, there are over a hundred universities; government owned and private. Which can be compared with Harvard in our local sphere? Basis for comparison should be quality of researches, number of professors, alumni, facilities and honors.

Ahmadu Bello University

I've heard so much about the school, especially its popularity among northerners. Haven't heard or read any thing on its researches lately though.
