The University of Port Harcourt has been ranked the sixth in Africa and the first in Nigeria by Times Higher Education (THE), a United Kingdom-based authoritative source for information about higher education.
Placed behind four South African universities and one Ugandan university, UniPort made the cut following the number of papers presented over a period of time.

In this chart by world’s most trusted rankings provider, THE, it reveals the first glimpse of future Africa University Rankings.
“The university rankings provider has revealed the top 15 universities in the region, based solely on their scores for research influence – in other words, how much African universities’ research papers are referred to and cited by other academics across the globe,” THE said in a statement.
The research institute noted that: “To be included in this future-gazing table, an institution must have published a minimum of 500 research papers in the five year period assessed with at least 50 papers per year,” it said.

University of Port Harcourt was the only Nigerian university ranked in the top 15. The full table, which contains the top 30 universities in Africa, will be revealed at the inaugural Times Higher Education Africa Universities Summit, which is billed to take place on 30th and 31st July at the University of Johannesburg. http://www.campuslife.uniport.edu.ng/university-of-port-harcourt-ranked-6th-in-africa-1st-in-nigeria/

PDP! what have you done? This will change the political calculation of the Country. Good for our Democracy though.

APC, the house that is divided against itself can't stand oh

What does it benefit you to be insulting ur Father Age mate, Ur Snr. in the name of access to Internet/social media? This generation has lost respect for Elders hence, all this Insult of our Peace, Gentle President even when ur Hero GMB acknowledged his sacrifice for the peace you presently enjoy. If for nothing but the Peace you enjoy unlike 2011 and promise to form parallel Government if APC did not win. There is God oh in all these insults oh

Rivers state is yet to recover from the General Election killings and violence yet the APC led government want to start another election, too bad. What has the Governor be waiting for almost one yr now since the tenure of the LG expired?. Let give peace a chance for once in Rivers state oh.

What
most of you don't know is that the couple is from Delta State.

If you hail from Edo or Delta and your wife cheats on you, she will die mysteriously if, and only if you the husband refuse to talk or act jealously.

The moment you act jealously you die while she lives on.

I stand to be corrected.

Please, let our elderly friends from Edo and Delta comment on this
issue.
