The 2018 Rank is 90% dominated by federal universities and would have been an all federal affair but for Covenant which emerged as the only non-federal university.

Were are the remaining 5?

Also Ranked Are The Top 27 Lecturers in Engineering Research In Nigeria. And the Most relevant researcher in Engineering in Nigeria is a Professor of Software engineering and Intelligent Systems, Misra Sanjay of Covenant University.

This is why I like the global ranking bodies. They don't discriminate and the undisputed No. 1 takes her position.
Congrats to BDO!
All the subsidy didn't go to waste afterall.

Wow! So Covenant has right to mine Elsevier data! CU should be the only university in Nigeria with that right. It must cost them quite some fortune...

Yea quite some fortune. I don't know if TheVictorious remembers, but I remember the Vice Chancellor of CU telling us Bishop Oyedepo pays #300 million/year to have access to an unprecedented amount of data in higher education. I hope all Nigerian unis can sign up to tools like this, it would help tremendously in identifying new research trends, monitoring university research output and relevance and recruiting elite lecturers across the globe.

The dominance of this list by some of the most funded unis is no coincidence.
