UNILAG vs UNIBEN: As Another Ranking Rates UNIBEN As Best University In Nigeria

A few weeks after 4icu.org listed the University of Lagos as the best university in Nigeria, Webometrics have released their own ranking of the top universities in the world of which the University of Benin was listed as No. 1 in Nigeria and 31st in Africa.

University of Benin (UNIBEN) has been ranked first in Nigeria and the 31st in Africa in the July  Webometrics Rankings of World Universities. Mr Harris Osarenre, the Public Relations Officer of UNIBEN  made it available in a signed statement.

Federal Polytechnic, Auchi came second in the webometrics rankings  with University of Ibadan in the third position. University of Benin(UNIBEN) was ranked first in Nigeria on Webometrics in January this year.

Webometrics did not mention the criteria used in the ranking.

“Prof. Osayuki Oshodi, the Vice Chancellor of UNIBEN strives to make the institution the best in the country,” the statement added. Unilag or Uniben, which do you think is the best university in Nigeria?

  1. Dont be confused. Webometric’s ranking is rubbish. They simply rank according to school’s website! Notwithstanding, You can still judge the best by taking a look at words spelling, usage, abbreviation, and idealness from commentators… So… Look up there and rank!… Me, i’m ‘ben’s student! Greatest uniben!

  4. in acedemic standard UNIBEN is d best and d greatest, unilag is a tribalistic skul with high corrupt nature, come to think of it we hav many youruba’s in uniben bt go to unilag u barely see such. So it is enuf reason to say dat uniben has aim 4 d best while unilag is just wasting tym. Pls compare uniben wit oau or ui nt unilag. Gr8est UNIBEN

  5. Uniben is far better and greater than unilag.d gap is to much in terms of d acedemic standards and d products.d standard of teaching and research in uniben is far better than dat in unilag.plz if u want to compare uniben wit any skul in nigeria,it shud be UI and nt unilag plzzzzzzz.even d current governor of lagos state is a uniben product.plz d gap is 2 much

  6. ‘web’-ometric ranking,NOT actual inspection or visitation to those institutions[there are more than 10,000 universities across the world,’webometrics’ can never do an empirical evaluation of each in relation to the other]…the major criteria is therefore just to squint through each institution’s WEBsite and see how complex,interesting and structured it is. What does that have to do with quality of teaching,teachers and even outputs i.e.graduates not talking of d available facilities in place and international recognition cum records and achievements???you can ask your VC he/she will tell you that ”we hope and pray that someday we’ll be like university of ibadan.it even better we address these educational sector’s flaw rather than having unwarranted jubilatiions.

  7. Just for you’ll information, there are only two Universities in Nigeria namely : University of Nigeria,Nsukka and others [e.g UNILAG , UNIBEN ,UI ,O.A.U.,………, e.t.c.]. Apologies to those this might offend, but the truth has to be stated.

  8. What indices were used in rating or ranking these universities? Infrastructurally wise and with sinserity in our minds can we beat our chest and say that these universities so rated at the echelon have meet this standards? How many admitted students have these so rated high universities supply with free books and other medium of learning. These and other factors are still deficient in our universities. Lets stop deceiving ourselves, lets go and search for the meaning of BEST. There is no iota of truth in this so called rating.

  9. Greatest Uniben! Great. Rating is not permanent, it’s rotating like a circle until it turn to another point where another university would have met the standard requirement for rating. For now it is UNIBEN; take it or leave it.

  10. UNILAG is a highly TRIBALISED institution. In UNILAG, only selected few students are good. The Students are not as good as the STAFF with INTIMIDATING ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS. In UNILAG, you can be favoured unduely at the detriment of another provided you speak and/or understand YORUBA language. But, you can hardly find all these elements and acts in UNIBEN. Their STAFF are highly CO-ORPORATIVE and DESCILINED. UNIBEN is good and with UTMOST. honesty, I recommend it for all Nigerian youths seeking to acquire true Knowledge and education.

  11. it is painful that so many analysts of this subject matter are still living in d past.b4 u make any comments,try 2 have a 1st hand knowledge of what obtains in both schools(unilag&uniben) in terms of acadmc excellence.d fact dat about 40% of uniben students are lagosians(running from unilag)says it all-UNIBEN is better dan mau(unilag)…infact lagos is 2 busy 4 students to study in…KNOW D TRUTH AND D TRUTH SHALL MAKE U FREE…MAKE UNA WISE UP O
