There is no such thing as NUC ranking. This is 41cu ranking based on popularity of websites. You ppl should stop this nonsense abeg.

Even the mods here seem a bit clueless about university rankings. This 4icu rankings were released months ago, even before webometrics. but no Nigerian university published it because they understand that it is completely non academic unlike webometrics which is a research ranking which uses four indicators which includes presence, impact, excellence and transparency. The transparency indicator measures total citations of all research publication on the web for open access publications while excellence measures total citations by top researchers in 26 disciplines. Webometrics gives an estimate of a university's research capabilities by using web tools to investigate how each universities research work is being used globally.

Even though webometrics is controversial in Nigeria, all universities accept it as an indicator of research relevance of some sort. But the most acceptable rankings of all is the Times Higher Education rankings which measures Teaching, Research, Citations, International outlook, Industry income and whose results are audited by PWC

What is university of Abuja doing on the list? Infact I lost all respect for this list for including university of Abuja. The university that is 100% sorting? No need of going to class and u will pass. The university of civil servant. Bribe and pass school.

I celebrate this great institution of academia...But how come the Best in Nigeria is not among the best in Africa
What's her position when ranked among world class list



It simply means one thing... Our best is not good enough...


Nigeria will be great soon...


But how soon is SOON?

Onyinye15:

Onyinye this your selfishness no get rivalry . Oya come and sell the space or...

Some people from a particular region will be so uncomfortable with this list. I no mention any region name o. But what I know is that, Southwest is not in the same level with their region. You only engage in dick measuring contest when you are inferior, and trying hard to measure up

Wooow

Wow.
