Only one Nigerian university is ranked among the top 800 universities in the world, according to Times Higher Education World University Rankings for 2015/2016 released this week.

PREMIUM TIMES’ analysis of the report showed that the University of Ibadan, Nigeria’s oldest university, is ranked 601st of the world’s top 800 universities featured in the survey, 200 steps lower than Makerere University, Uganda, which is ranked 401st.

The ranking was released on Wednesday, September 30, 2015.

The University of Cape Town, South Africa, at 120th position, is the highest ranked university in Africa, 481 steps higher than the University of Ibadan.

Five other South African universities are included in the list of top notch universities in the world, making it the highest from a single African country.

They are University of Witwatersrand (20ist); Stellenbosch University (301st); University of KwaZulu-Natal (401st); University of Pretoria (501st); and University of South Africa (601st).

Three Egyptian universities, Alexandria University, Cairo University, and Suez Canal University are all ranked 601st on the list.

Just like Nigeria and Uganda, only one Ghanaian university, the University of Ghana is on the list, and it is ranked 601st.

Morocco too has only one university, University of Marrakech Cadi Ayyad (601th), on the list.

Altogether, 13 universities from six African countries are included among the top 800 universities in the world.

But despite having only one university in the ranking, this year’s rating is a great leap for Nigeria. No Nigerian university has featured in the ranking since 2011 when the survey began.

The California Institute of Technology, United States, occupies the number one spot in the world.

The University of Oxford, United Kingdom is on the 2nd position, while Stanford University, United States and University of Cambridge, United Kingdom are on the 3rd and 4th positions respectively.

Top Ten World’s University for 2015/2016

Other top ranked institutions are the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, United States (5th); Harvard University, United States (6th); Princeton University, United States (7th); Imperial College London, United Kingdom (8th); ETH Zurich-Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Switzerland (9th); and University of Chicago, United States (10th).

Find full ranking here.

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, according to its website, assesses the best global universities across all of their core missions – teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

The survey uses “13 carefully calibrated performance indicators to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons, trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and even governments”.

The performance indicators are grouped into five areas: Teaching (the learning environment), Research (volume, income and reputation), Citations (research influence), International outlook (staff, students and research) and Industry income (knowledge transfer).

Prof. Julius Okojie, executive secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), said so far 27 Nigerian universities had been connected to share high-speed 10 gigabit core and internet resources content to boost research findings in the nation’s higher institutions.

Prof. Julius Okojie, who made this disclosure at the just held West African Research and Education Network (WACREN) workshop on Network Monitoring and Measurement, said the installation in the 27 federal universities, which is the first phase, had so far gulped $10 million (N2.4bn), while informing that N28 billion was still needed to cover all the universities.

“The focus is to enable online researches in universities and offer efficiencies of unified communications and consolidation of digital content in research and development in line with global demands,” he said.

He noted that over a period of 30 years, Nigeria lost out in research findings in higher institutions because of lack of capacity from professors and academic doctors who travelled out as diasporans outside the country.

“What we are trying to do is to ensure that we intervene through diverse means by ensuring we build capacity of our academics, build infrastructure on ICT to accommodate diverse research methodologies such as video conferencing, teleconferencing, that would bring faster results for collaborative learning between educational institutions within and outside the country,” he said.

He explained that the NUC in conjunction with the Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities and with the support of the World Bank-assisted Science and Technology Education, Post basic (step-B) project, established Nigerian Research and Education Network to facilitate Inter-institutional collaboration, share access to knowledge across national and international boundaries.
