OAU, nowhere to be found as three other Nigeria universities make world top 1000 universities.
The list of world’s top 1000 universities as ranked by the Times Higher World University Rankings 1000 list was unveiled and only three Nigerian universities made the cut.

Covenant University Ota, University of Ibadan and University of Lagos were the 3 universities from Nigeria to make the list.

The ranking reportedly used the performance of the institutions in the areas of teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international reception as its criteria which makes one wonder how Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) didn’t make the cut.

Founded as far back as 1961, OAU quickly made name for herself as the top university in the nation with students rushing to join their ranks so as to associate with the best.

Unfortunately, all those seems like in the past now as the famed university continue to drop in rankings.

Covenant University is the highest ranked amongst them, ranked between number 401- 500 to be the only one amongst the top 500.


University of Ibadan followed behind between 501 – 600 and eventually University of Lagos positioned between 801 – 1000.
