I disagree with you, through out the tenour of office of GEJ as Nigeria President, Convenant University produced more First scholars that won PRESID Scholarship than any public and private Universities in Nigeria. Take it or you leave, the school will break record as the first top 50 world best University. They have gotten the vision, mission, funding and administration right. Watch out

Vdsc:

The most naturally intelligent.

If exposed to the convenat university environment, their intellectual output would be far greater than the current CU output.

Covenant university is a school for the rich. That is a very narrow talent pool.

Nature and history has proven that the brightest among us often come from very humble backgrounds.

Mozart, Bethoveen, Faraday, Newton, Adam Smith, Einstein and co.

Even Jesus was the son of a carpenter.

Just shut the entire Bleep up with your envy laden post

Inject some very sharp brains into her class, and she will not even finish top 20.

Those sharp brains are most of the time very poor and are languishing in federal.

Not just CU Engineering, CU's Business and Economics programmes joined the 1st 500+ league too.

There are quite a number of innovations by CU students and grads be it in Engineering, ICT, Software industry, natural sciences and co. CU takes consciousness in publicly promoting these stuffs from their own while also taking into cognizance copyright/intellectual property theft threat which is a major issue in 9ja.

Besides, in this part of the world, venture capitalist who are ready to fund such innovations are not easy to come by. Even 9ja banks ain't ready to put their money. Na Oil, real estates & co. people want to invest in.

See #NEPAless Pressing Iron invented by a CU grad. amongst such great innovations:

They should keep fooling themselves, engineers that can't identify an alternator in an engine

shut your mouth up. why all the negativity?

Lyoncrescent:
Covenant University and pan Atlantic University (Lagos business school) are two of the best private universities in the country. Infact the MBA program of Lagos business school is 1 million times better than the likes of Unilag and u.i. covenant is excellent overall. Even the way covenant students and graduates dress you must bow. Special shout out to Babcock as most of their graduates are doing big things in the IT sector in Nigeria such as paystack founders. Afe babalola University graduates are also killing it in law. My point is no University should be a jack of all trades. They should take up one or two fields and fund it heavily such that even if you don't make it on times ranking,your alumni will make an impact on the nation. But don't get it twisted private university graduates are killing it in Multinationals ,private sector and even public sector and age is on their side.babcock graduate of 21 years old I met has finished her bsc, nysc and just rounded up her MSc at Warwick uni. Plus she's already ICAN certified O. The truth is that in most cases if your parents can afford to send you to a premium private university such as Babcock or covenant, more likely than not they can also fund your masters degree overseas and also flex their connect to get you a good job here in Nigeria . God bless all Nigerian students both private and public and also graduates . I pray the ASUU strike is called off soon O .

APT.

Deceive yourself with the word gifted. Covenant is the best University in Nigeria period. Look am in a public uni but the places this private uni are going we would never get there is things continue like this.

I won't dispute that, but can you identify one research that any of their products have been involved in, what major thing have they done, what books have dey written . Just tell me anything . You see it's not enough to be the best or graduate from the best uni in Nigeria. Best believe they are the best at absolutely nothing.

But the best students don't have the funds.

I am not against the quality of the school. I am not satisfied with the quality of the students.

MIT cannot make a rich dullard to become Isaac Newton all of a Sudden.

That is why MIT offers scholarship to highly gifted students especially Asians that can't afford it.

If not, the university intellectual output will not be optimal.

A mentally average student will not become Isaac Newton in covenant.

Yes, he will improve but he will still be average somewhat when compared to outside standards.

If that were not the case, schools in US and Europe would not give scholarships to poor, brilliant students.

They will just admit the very rich and end it there.

It's not the job of engineers to change a car tire, even in the USA or Europe. It's not even their job to repair cars. They don't teach anyone how to repair things in any university in the world. Those are taught in technical schools or vocational schools. There is generally, a misconception in Nigeria about what the role of engineers are.

What are the roles of engineers in Nigeria?
How far have they performed and delivered on their roles
Anyone can say anything since talk is cheap. Mtcheww.

I believe if UI is funded well, it will be among the top ten in the world.

The privilege Covenant has is the funding

Pained public uni guy...
It's cool you admitted CU is the best.

PushCV, Piggybank.ng amongst others are by CU grads...

Azu Ezenwoke has publications.

Now point me to Public Uni graduates who have done anything major, research wise.
To keep a level playground(they must have graduated between 2006 and 2018)...so you don't bring up the likes of Pa Soyinka and Philip Emeagwali(both of whom weren't even schooled in Nigeria).

IamGoke:

Hahahahaha...Even LASU may be better funded to CU...

But by the time you factor in the mismanagement of funds and human resources, you'll be left with the present day UI.

You do know there are many renowned inventors from CU... Even the yearly college of Engineering competition in which allllll universities in Nigeria participate in... CU has won all... Just saying... Get your facts right.
