University Of Ibadan Ranked Among The Best 1000 Universities In The World



This inclusion was made by the Academic Ranking of World
Universities (AWRU) and the Center for World Universities Ranking
(CWUR). These organizations had released a list of top 500 and 100 in
2016, but no Nigerian University was presented then.
CWUR said that Nigerian universities were not considered for the
ranking earlier because of lack of quality research.
AWRU, who did not give a reason for Nigeria’s absence, made it clear
that the criteria for ranking were the number of alumni and staff
publishing journals in Nature and Science, number of alumni and staff
winning Nobel prizes and Field medals.
South Africa and Egypt had the highest number of universities on the
list from the continent.
