You don't want to go there at all. There are tons of CU programmers working at Silicon Valley and making strides in ICT

Tithe money...






Yet, 97% of the tithers can't afford the school fees

That's all you can contribute? Meanwhile, you will lick buhari anus for putting you in jeopardy.

Not only OAU, it includes UI(already on the list), UNN, Unilag, OAU and Covenant.

Every year when it's time to collect all the data. Each university from Harvard to Standford, MIT even to University Of Ibadan and every other Uni that are being considered would turn their Financial, Academic and admission record to Times Higher. The record would for example include all the money realised from research, and industry collaboration. Total number of staff and students. Number of international faculty and students, number of academic staff that have PhD and got it from the University.

Then Times would send 18000 surveys to the best Researchers across top notch Institutions Globally - Presumably to US, Europe and some in Asia. The researchers would be asked to pick the current best universities in their field of work e.g Prof. Melissa Franklin of Nuclear Physics, Harvard would have to pick top institutions in Nuclear Physics(Research and Teaching) she may return Harvard, Oxford, MIT and Caltech on the survey. Then it would be tallied(Nigerian Universities rank severely low here barely getting 1% score)

Then they use bibliometric/webometric tools to extract all research work ever produced by universities in consideration between the last five years and obtain Citations, Research Co-Authorship, Research Volume etc

After that, they would now exclude any University in Consideration that does not have at least 1000 research work publication(indexed by SCOPUS) and minimum of 150/year in the past five years.

The Result are then interpreted and audited by Price Water Cooper House(PwC) and released-So you see why it is completely trusted by Governments because it is a very rigorous process.(over 95% of US higher Institutions don't make the top 1000 rank)

What kind of CS research have they done to be a strong CS uni in Nigeria compared to other Unis in Africa? Have they developed anything special. What kind of CS funding do they have?

For those of us in the actual field of Computational Science, I'm finding this hard to believe. I also believe that schools in Algeria, Morocco, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and possibly Ghana are better for CS than schools in Nigeria.

hmm and no public uni.
where is the Harvard of Nigeria?

niggi4life:
Hmm, All for mere ratings.

In my place of work, i have lots of graduates who majored in computer science and do not even know what a Router or Switch is let alone know how to write a single program or script.
In Nigeria right now, Computer science is still under rated.
I finished from OOU Ago Iwoye and all through my four years in school i never had the opportunity to even see our computer Lab. I groomed myself with personal trainings and research. Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates were both drop outs from Havard Uni, they developed themselves personally, same goes with Seun Osewa of Nairaland.
What am i driving at? It's just that becoming a real computer scientist takes a lot of personal endeavor than going through the four walls of a Uni.

Fulaman198:
I know for certain that Egypt and South Africa have better CS schools than Nigeria. I won't be surprised if Algeria, Ghana, Morocco, Tunisia, etc. have as well.

There is a lot to work on from an infrastructure point of view. CS needs to be introduced early to children, let them gain an understanding on basic programming concepts, then they can move onto mainstream CS stuff when in the University.

CS is such a huge field but we don't have the qualified people in Nigeria to teach it in depth. Most qualified Nigerians are abroad.

Fulaman198:
I forgot to also mention Kenya and Uganda who I assume would have better CS schools than Nigeria as well and possibly Tanzania.

I wish I went to a private school , public universities are living in past glory

The school wasn't established to help church members get university education.
It was establish for a purpose, find out that purpose and stop regurgitating old internet trash here.

You people tried. Though you need to work on your Citations.

ModsWillKillNL:

I suspect he is Azubike.
He studied Computer Science in CU.
He made a First Class.

ejibaba:


I want to ask who sponsors the publications from covenant university staff? Is there a funding pool or individuals pay?

Free standard journals are mostly not open access and you will pay high for it if you want it open access

Statsocial:

David Oyedepo Foundation pays 1,000USD for every International Publication that emanates from CU faculty to make it open access. They also pay N50,000 for local publications - so yes the DOF an Covenant Uni Centre for Research Innovation and Discovery (CUCRID) are the funding pool for CU research work..

ejibaba:


aba Jo!!! I would have said na! but that's good. The staff will be loyal then...because it's a great boost to ones resume.

I hope to join them in the future.

Statsocial:
As a lecturer ba. What did you study?

ejibaba:


Yes. Business Administration

Though already lecturing in one of the FG uni

Statsocial:

Oh wow that's great. Is there any particular advantage you will get in CU that you wouldn't get in your current uni.

ejibaba:


So many...For example, the university is promoting research of their staff, thereby encouraging them to further contribute to make resounding impacts in their field of study.

Promotion is faster and merit is the focus rather than loyalty and godfather.

However, I will rather stay where I'm for now till I make the name so I earn the right value! Also, I'm a winner so spiritual connection is valuable.

Statsocial:

Makes a lot of sense. CU or any other living faith university would be an awesome place for you to be... You would certainly feel more fulfilled over there.
