University Directorates well represented
Admission Information well conveyed
Easy to Use and Suitable for Mobile Users
Great Tour Guide Video
Responsive Website/Social medial managers
E-Learning Moodle(All Lecturer notes are deposited before semester commences)
-comment: the website is too academic and conveys little about student experience and activities. The University should consider releasing Annual Research Reports and should be more transparent about research financial grant since it prides itself as a private research institution.

Most Nigerian Universities have poor, horrific and terrifying websites. The websites are not interactive and dormant at times for even weeks. Student and research activities are in most cases not conveyed. Information about admission is usually stale and unreliable

Social media penetration is hugely low. From Harvard to Lehigh to institutions even in South Africa many institutions are communicating via twitter. Many Universities also help prospective students with information about the University and also help solve application and student issues in record time. The twitter helps Universities to garner even public opinion about the Universities but unfortunately Nigerian Universities have chosen to remain in the past century some don't even have twitter and Facebook accounts. You can't rely on information on their websites, their contact lines don't go through and when it does they are even unhelpful and you may need to personally travel down to the University to seek information.

All the problem of Higher education isn't about inadequate funds we can't always curse out the federal govt for the ineptitude and carefree attitude that the universities are disposed to. University of Johannesburg is a South African Public Varsity established in 2003 yet with a fantastic website and social media presence.
Most Federal Universities in Nigeria have terrible websites including UNN, Unilorin, OAU etc and are arrogantly off social media even Futminna only made the list because of her digitized online research repository. Some private Universities also have disappointing websites e.g Babcock, Redeemers, ABUAD and no social media presence.

Who best website help? As long as school's website serves it's goal, I believe that's what matters, not which is best or not. That said, best should be in quality of education/alumni strength...
Anyways, I rep CU regardless grin

You should have made the comparison to cover federal and state varsities also, but well, that may be very tasking; good job. Reminds me of when I went to Unilag to inquire about something and they were fast to say check the website, not knowing that nothing like that is there.
