My school

No school like the school of hard knocks.

edoairways:
In terms of citations of articles CU top with 78.4
Industry income :26.3
Research: 14.7
Teaching: 27.2.
UI's strength is
International outlook: 37.3 meaning they still live on goodwill. However their research output is low (12.1). This shows that either the government isn't investing enough on research or some lecturers are siphoning fund.

Yes, thing is CU would continue to widen the gap on Times Higher. CU would be unbeatable in the next 10 years unless Fed govt infuses at least 30 billion naira extra annual cash for UI.

UI peaks its research deposit at 1135 from 114 departments in 2019, Covenant did 1400 on the same Scopus from only 32 department. Now the consequence of that kind of difference would have impact till 2023.

Example, when UI produces 1000 academic publications and CU does like 250 they are like equal in the eyes of QS, ARWU and Times because CU has 1/3 of UI's department. Under no circumstance should Covenant equal UI on quantity of research.

The problem was since 2002 no university has ever surpassed UI in academic publications - this gave UI mad reputation - but made them complacent especially since UNN, Unilag where no where near UI. 2012 Oyedepo wanted to compete and infused cash and the rankings started reading different stories because UI's success was still mediocre and beatable.

Currently, there's another mad funding for CU central labs which indicates Covenant is looking to reach 2000 publications. At 2000 CU would depose Uni of Cpetown.

There's a small way for UI to fight back - Tetfund. If UI can access much of the research fund it can still fight back. It won't win but would close the gap.

Southwest is a blessing to the black people.

Waiting for those that will insult private universities

Yoruba Amaka!!!


.

No doubt that Yorubas are blessed with Education and that's why they don't have problem cohabiting with other tribes.

Education gives you a natural sense of tolerance either by tribe or religion.

That being said, I'd like to know the contribution and the career success of graduates of that school.
