TOP 10 NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES



Against all odds, the Nigeria universities is a place that only the fit survivers the hustle. The chalenges ranging from the strikes, to poor amenities, to an outdated curriculum in most cases, it's an unfortunate disadvantage most of the time.
here is a list of the top 10 universities this year:
1. University of Ibadan.
This is the only Nigerian University to make it into the top 1000 in
the world.
2. University of Ilorin.
Arguably the most stable government run university in Nigeria,
Unilorin has been a consistent member of the elite top government
universities for the past few years.
3. University of Lagos.
Despite the many controversies and drama this year, UNILAG still
makes it to the list.
4. Covenant University.
Covenant University is the only private-run university on the list,
and despite the constant controversy from the chancellor, the
school continues to flourish silently.
5. Nnamdi Azikiwe University.
Popularly known as UNIZIK, a lot of interesting things have
happened in the Southeast school this year.
6. University of Port Harcourt.
Early this year, the World Economic Forum ranked Uniport as one
of the top 30 universities in Africa.
7. University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
The webometrics ranking on the other hand, ranked UNN as one to
the top 30 universities in Africa
8. University of Calabar.
The new Vice Chancellor, Professor Zana Itiunbe Akpagu, hasn't
done badly for the school since he resumed duties late 2015.
Hopefully, he gets even better.
9. Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.
Besides their VC getting arraigned by the EFCC, UNAAB has had a
pretty decent year.
10. Ahmadu Bello University.
From the free surgeries for people, to working towards an online
MBA, to even graduating up to 49 first class students, despite all
odds, it looks like the Zaria school didn't fare so badly this year.

Selling of handout in Nigerian Universities not our Making says ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities in Nigeria (ASUU) has expressed displeasure at the mandatory sale of handouts by some lecturers in tertiary institutions. Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, President of the union, expressed this view in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja. “It is not wise for lecturers in our tertiary institutions to compel students to be buying handouts, though it is not a widespread practice; we have few people that are misbehaving. “But the system has a way of handling them, so anywhere they see them they always put them on check. “It is not permitted in the system and there is a structure for tracking and dealing with that so ASUU as a union don’t condone it and we discourage it anywhere and everywhere we go,’’ he said. However, a cross section of Nigerian students had decried the rate at which some lecturers extort money from them in the name of selling of handouts. Speaking in separate interviews with NAN, students lamen...

Dr. Ogunyemi...

Bayelsa varsity shutdown by students(Trouble in Nigeria versities who is to be blamed?)

The Bayelsa State-owned Niger Delta University (NDU), Wilberforce Island, was, Monday, shut down by students following what they described as outrageous increase in all categories of fees in the school. The aggrieved students were said to have shut the gate to the main entrance of the school in Amassoma, Southern Ijaw, stopping vehicular movement into the campus. The protest, which coincided with an indefinite strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) reportedly, crippled academic and social activities on campus. The students were said to be angry over hike in school fees, electronic course registrations and non-inclusion of students’ representation in decision-making. The demonstration, which was led by the President of the Student Union Government (SUG), Mr. Kemes Mitin, was said to be peaceful without skirmishes. The students lamented that the school authority was gradually turning the state university into a private institution in its quest to r...
