agbekoya: These are no indicators of quality and I am very disappointed in the managers of Unilag website for publishing this on their website as a credibility rating. I am do a lot of work with many universities around the world and have not seen any university that place a rating by Webometrics on their website as a credibility claim. Concerned authorities should sanction whoever is responsible as it is an embarrassment to the university. It should be deleted from the website immediately Unilag has much it can lay claim to, a rating by Webometrics is not a great statement.

UNILORIN is fond of putting such rankings at a conspicuos place on their website. Please don't blame the web managers at Unilag, they too want to get some kudos for 'a job well done'. Aside the indicators used, the problem with such rankings is that it is done by many organizations. I'm sure that Webometric rankings will differ what the OP put up there from 4ICU, though they claim to use the same indicators.

Of what use is web popularity?

Made in China Nigeria tablets! Only time will tell.

Kudos to the guy for being 'sharp' anyway.

That will even slow us down.

Its beautiful on those kids more than it will look on some corpers.

Yeepa! Written as it sounds.

ekt_bear: this is trivial dude

Abi ooo. EXCEL can do this both for an individual and a whole department (a sheet will be dedicated to a student).

Even all his 'professional' qualifications could not help him out.

I've heard this before and it sounds awkward.

ANY-PEN :
The fact is, if you can't physically see, play & do other stuffs with your friends, they remain old friends even if they are on FB. I personally do not find FB interesting Anymore because it isn't all of my friends on FB that are truly my friends & those that are friends remain old friends until we meet again.

I quite agree with this. You have friends on Facebook but you don't actually 'connect' with them.

OMG! Desperation can really make people 'irrational'

The Tony Elumelu Foundation has announced that it will offer annual prizes in perpetuity to top-performing graduating students at several universities across Nigeria.

TEF, which is a not-for-profit institution committed to the economic transformation of Africa by enhancing the competitiveness and growth of the African private sector, said in a statement on Thursday that the annual prizes would be for top undergraduate and graduate (where relevant) students at the various universities in Economics, Business Administration and Medicine.
An annual professional prize will also be provided through the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria to encourage excellence in the banking profession.
The beneficiary institutions are Ambrose Alli University, Edo State; Delta State University; University of Jos, Plateau State; University of Lagos; University of Benin, Edo State; Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto State; University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State; University of Maiduguri, Borno State; University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State; and Benue State University.

“The annual prizes will recognise and honour top-performing students at these select Nigerian universities who are completing degrees related to the academic and career paths of Mr. Tony O. Elumelu, MFR, founder of The Tony Elumelu Foundation, and his wife, Dr. Awele V. Elumelu, CEO of Avon Medical Services Ltd. and fellow Trustee of The Tony Elumelu Foundation,” the statement said.

Elumelu is currently the chairman of Heirs Holdings, an African proprietary investment firm, as well as Transnational Corporation of Nigeria and Tenoil Petroleum & Energy Services.
Previously, he was Group CEO of United Bank for Africa, a position he held for over 13 years after a successful merger of UBA and Standard Trust Bank.

“These prizes reflect the appreciation that my wife and I have for our own university education in Nigeria and our confidence in the quality of the education provided by these great institutions.

“By supporting promising students, I believe that we
are fulfilling one of the mandates of The Tony Elumelu Foundation, which is to promote and celebrate excellence in business leadership and entrepreneurship across Africa,” Elumelu said.

Three outstanding University of Jos students received prizes during the school’s convocation ceremony on May 12, 2012, the statement said. The students are 22-year-old Obianuju Ifeoma Okpara, an Economics undergraduate student who finished top of her class; Joel Nanbal Zuhumben, 31, best postgraduate student in Economics; and Francis Ifeanyi Ayomogh, top undergraduate medical student.

As part of the prize programme, TEF has also established a new annual professional prize to be awarded to the best student in the ‘Practice of Banking’ subject in the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria professional examinations.

This year’s prize went to Mrs. Bolawa Funlola Adenuga, a banker who had the highest score in her first and only sitting of the examination, during CIBN’s awards ceremony which held on July 7, 2012 in Lagos.

Subsequent to receiving the prizes, each student will be invited to join a lifelong network of beneficiaries of The Tony Elumelu Foundation as they successfully enter the workforce and progress to becoming prominent leaders and entrepreneurs, it added.
