Institute Ranks OAU Best Varsity In Nigeria
An international institute which ranks universities
across the globe, Cybermetrics Lab of Spain, has
rated Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, as the
best university in Nigeria, for the fifth consecutive
time.
A statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of
OAU, Mr. Abiodun Olarewaju, on Thursday, stated
that the university ranking body rated the curricular,
research, academic and general administration of the
university as the best in Nigeria.
Olarewaju stated that in the newest ranking, which
was released on Monday, the Universities of Lagos
and Ilorin came 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Reacting to the news, the Vice-Chancellor of OAU,
Prof. Bamitale Omole, said this was the first time in
the history of higher education in Nigeria where one
university “would maintain its position the first and
the best in the country for more than four
consecutive times.
”Omole commended the ranking, while attributing
the feat to years of the hard work and dedication to
duty of the academic, administrative and technical
staff “whose contributions have placed the university
far and above more than 100 other universities in
Nigeria.
”The statement read, “Prof. Omole emphasised his
determination to make training and retraining of
staff, on a regular basis, his topmost priority, adding
that he would not rest on his oars until OAU becomes
the best in Africa and one of the top ten in the world.
”Omole called on the Federal government to invest
more funds into the university education in the
country in order to achieve more.
The vice-chancellor also called on the alumni of the
university to assist the school in the overall
development of the institution “so that the OAU
would grow more in leaps and bounds in the
realisation of the dreams of the founding fathers.”
