We can’t immediately verify why UI would make such
claims yet link the claim to an infographic that suggest
otherwise.

Webometrics, a ranking of all the Universities of
the World, has refuted claims by University of
Ibadan, UI, that it has been ranked Number
One higher institution in Nigeria by the Site.
As at 7:30pm Nigerian Time, University of Ibadan on one
of the Feature Slides on its Official Website –
www.ui.edu.ng – still claims UI is the ‘Best University in

Webometrics.
To prove the genuineness of their ranking, UI

To satisfy our curiosity, we clicked on the link. At
Webometrics, what we found was way dissimilar.
Obafemi Awolowo University is ranked Number 1.
University of Lagos, 2; and University of Ilorin is at
number 3.
University of Ibadan I is at a distant 64.
We can’t immediately verify why UI would make such
claims yet link the claim to an infographic that suggest
otherwise. But we understand from Webometrics that
“After publication on the July 31st we received evidence
of bad practices by a few universities, so a corrected
edition was needed.”
Webometrics says it is the largest academic ranking of
Higher Education Institutions since 2004. Every six
months an independent, objective, free, open scientific
exercise is performed by the Cybermetrics Lab in Spain
to provide reliable, multidimensional, updated and
useful information about the performance of
universities from all over the world based on their web
presence and impact.
