The National Universities Commission (NUC) has released University ranking for 2021.

The ranking system, among other things, is to determine the performance of universities in the country and identify areas where funds could be preferentially allocated and applied.

The ranking has since generated controversies among educationists in the country.

According to the NUC, this ranking was made from analysis of twelve indicators. From the list, the best University in Nigeria is the University of Ibadan in Oyo state

NUC said the ranking was an important factor in stimulating quality.

Among the 196 universities in the country, 113 were ranked. Academic directors from 91 institutions participated in drawing the formula for the ranking. To ensure fairness, the 12 parameters for the ranking were agreed upon by all the contributors after a series of preparatory workshops.

Thereafter, an online platform for data entry was set up, while the data entered by accredited officials of each university were validated by teams of Directors of Academic Planning and cross-validated with records from the NUC.

Among the parameters used in the ranking is the ratio of students to teachers, whereby the number of fulltime equivalent (FTE) students in the university is divided by the number of fulltime teachers in the institution. Under this parameter, Legacy University came out top, while Spiritan University, Augustine University and Iginedion University were second, third and fourth respectively.

Also used in the ranking is female students’ enrolment, which was arrived at by dividing the number of female FTE students by the total fulltime equivalent. The universities ranked top five in this parameter are PAMO University of Medical Sciences, Achievers University, Lead City University, Bayelsa Medical University, Yenagoa and Ondo State University of Medical Sciences.

While using the parameter of full professors, federal universities were top. Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Ibadan, the Federal University of Technology Akure and the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta occupied the top five positions with a higher percentage after the total number of professors in the universities were divided by the total number of fulltime academic staff.

Among indicators used in the ranking is the number of international staff. The commission said this indicator helped in understanding how well the university is able to attract and retain expatriate staff, adding that it was computed by dividing the number of non-Nigerian teaching staff by the total number of academic staff in the university.

Also, the proportion of students in the university, who are non-Nigerians, was considered with the Nile University of Nigeria, having the highest number of international students.

The ranking showed that 25 universities have 100 per cent accreditation, including Adeleke University, Al-Qalam University and Caleb University. Others are Chrisland University, Crescent University and Federal University, Lokoja

Other parameters used in the ranking are student completion rate, all citations per capita measured of average scholarly citations for the university as indexed in Google Scholar, Per Google Scholar Presence and ranking by Knowledge Economy.
