Nigeria has only one university in Africa’s top 10 list; South Africa has 6
Only one Nigerian university has made it to the list of top 10 African universities, a rating that has six South African schools. In a ranking released Tuesday, Nigeria’s University of Ibadan came a distant eighth on the top 10 list, beaten by schools from South Africa, Kenya and Egypt. With its performance, the University of Ibadan naturally came tops as Nigeria’s best, according to the research conducted by Journals Consortium. The result shows how the Nigerian education system struggles against its African peers. The ranking was based on research publications and citations from 2010 to 2014 as well as visibility on the Internet, Journals Consortium said. The University of Cape Town in South Africa was graded the continent’s best while Cairo University in Egypt came second. Another South African institution, University of Pretoria, ranked third while the University of Nairobi, in Kenya, ranked fourth. University of South Africa was ranked fifth leaving Witwatersrand University at the sixth position and Stellenbosch at seventh.
