It does not come out of thin air.

The budget for havard alone in a year is more than our entire education budget.

Quality Research is directly proportional to money available.

Nigerians are very funny. Believed me, Nigeria should have been better than it has showed with good leadership.

I'm terms of academic UNN school be the best school in nigeria worst case top 3 ....

The years of neglect by the military government for years left the school behind in infrastructure

If u see 1965 pics of UNN it has 80% of the structures the school has now

Its bad sha ...but she still prove her worth in academics year after year ....

The public school with the highest employability ratio ...it can't be by mistake

The kind if citations Nigerian universities dish out? I'm not sure you understand what citations means. Maybe you meant to say "the kind of publications......"

Let me break this down in a layman's way so you and others would understand.

The rating based on citation is simply that based on how many times researchers around the world have quoted publications from researchers in the institutions mentioned. That is basically how it works.

Now, a school my have millions of publications BUT if such publications aren't made on journals rated by, say, Scorpus, such publications will hardly get citations from researchers around the world.

That is how it works.

Congrats to UNN though.

Hail Varsity of Nigeria my Alma mater!
...noble are thy look and thy ideas...

I just appreciate the way the school administration makes it a competition amongst staff to always publish articles and journals that will be engaging and well researched for a token.
I can still remember how our lecturers will always tell us to use Googlescholar when we are doing some academic research work. It's challenging but interesting.


Louder we Roar!!!
