Covenant University good gik

Amotolongbo:
Thank goodness it is just zero productivity and not negative productivity like your region

I said what i said without apology

dgitrader:
What are the indices used? What do they mean by research environment?

Statisense no know wetin to measure again. Na y. Research environments without any known discovery or innovation.

WHAT IS OSUN STATE UNIVERSITY DOING AT NUMBER 2? WHICH KIND RANKING IS THIS

Comelysync:
how many has ours benefit our won society.

A whole lot, if you care to know.

ginggerxy:
I said what i said without apology

of what use is your apology?
Covert it to sense and use it for your own benefit

There is no technological or civilization idea/breakthrough in the world without a spiritual inclination or backing.

Inventions of men comes from the spirit. I am referring to VDM here.

I am not a follower of a Bishop Oyedepo's church, but it takes an excellent mind and spirit driven man to create a learning system that rivalled Federal Universities for decades and even surpass them in many indicies till date.

It's either a man is knowledgeable of this mystery or he is not of the knowledge.

Cherrybae:
Not even one university from the SE.

SW, SS and the North all represented.

Why can't we let this people go.

They contribute nothing but they make the Loudest noise.

Check the No. 11 on the list University of Nigeria, Nsukka
Abi Nsukka is not the South East again ni??

SE is sleeping. They will soon call it marginalisation.

Covenant University leads Nigeria’s Research Environment ranking with a score of 32.5, well ahead of Osun State University at 25.6.

The South West dominates the top 15, accounting for 9 of the 15 universities, pointing to a strong regional concentration in research environment performance.

Only Unical from the South South. Sometimes you wonder if those states are part of Southern Nigeria.

This is what research environment means for those asking

Absolutely! Nigeria’s research environment is undeniably strong in the South West. Let's just hope it's consistently thriving!

Research environment as how? explain

You cant understand now, because its not rice and beans.

dgitrader:

Since you don't understand what it means, no need to explain to you.

For other posters here, it simply translates to the university that has the highest published number of peer reviewed research and cited academic works which basically is what universities are supposed to be - places of academic research .

So that means covenant university has published more research material (PhD thesis) than other universities.

As per Covenant University, I believe this will be more works in social and religious studies than STEM.

Ibadan, OAU and Lagos will have the highest published STEM papers while ABU will be in medical and history (this is their strong points).

Yoruba are the reason why your universities are glorified secondary schools and paper certificate mills?

Nteogwuija:

If you must know, virtually every Federal university in the SW has at least one centre of excellence in a particular science that is funded in whole by European Union and Universities.

Most of PhD students carrying research in these centres of excellence end up going on sabbatical across the world to present their papers and will further be placed on fully funded post doctoral research positions in same excellence centres in Nigeria or abroad.

Until they show us one research from all the mushroom universities and the impact of such a research on humanity, all na wash.

stop consulting demons, you won't listen.

Why do I feel like the information given was not sufficiently presented?

I think they were supposed to tell the public the meaning of what they are about to present, before they actually do so.

It's something public; and as such, even the layman on the street is supposed to accurately understand the data, even without further explanations. Yes!


Some persons here did not know, even me, until some other kind persons came through for us.

owobokiri:
Something to console those of them dealing with inferiority complex..
You can see them above splashing tribal saliva left right and center..

something to make other universities work harder... When u brag na inferiority complex... But when you cry about marginalization no be inferiority complex then.... Universities that actively engage in research are more likely to attract funding from both national and international sources.... So instead of crying everytime, get to work...

Top in what? With all their old syllabuses

There was no emperical evidence of how this ranking was done.
List of research work done and the value it added to knowledge. Sadly some people just go to social media to socialise falsehood.

Lol

Cuz the school no dey make noise? No go underrate the school o. B4 B4, I used to think of that school low myself, until one day wey I jam a girl wey be student of the school..

Nah she put me on regarding the school. It’s one of the best state university in Nigeria !

Cmeo:

Abi Nsukka is not the South East again ni??

Point of correction:

UNN is not an eastern university! It’s a University of Nigeria!

As Abuja be our Capital, Naso UNN dey! It’s like a Capital to other schools!

You can’t lay claim to it at all.

TheStoriesOfMan:
Most lecturers in the SS and SE are not interested in research or academic development. All they know is to embezzle research funds, marry multiple wives and chase female students all around.

That's why they fumble when they go outside the country.

True 💯.
