The Ranking Web or Webometrics is the “largest academic ranking of Higher Education Institution” based on the assessment of Composite Indicators and Web Impact Factors”.

“The original aim of the Ranking is to promote academic web presence, supporting the Open Access initiatives for increasing significantly the transfer of scientific and cultural knowledge generated by the universities to the whole Society.


“In order to achieve this objective, the publication of rankings is one of the most powerful and successful tools for starting and consolidating the processes of change in the academia, increasing the scholars’ commitment and setting up badly needed long term strategies,” Webometrics said on its website.

Nigerian Universities have no business in the top 1,000 Universities of the world. Try calling or emailing for information or processing your transcripts you’ll see why.

Ui made top 1000 University in the world list in 2016. I think Covenant and UNN have also made it afterward.

Last year, UI was ranked 401-500.

Though the universities have their shortcomings, that doesn't mean they are outrightly bad.
