UNN is still number one research university in Nigeria and an improved No 17 in Africa


Jul 16 (11 days ago)

Dear All,
WEBOMETRICS just published the ranking of Universities today (15-07-2017) based on the quality and impact of their publications as evidenced by their citations in Google Scholar.
It is my pleasure to announce that UNN is still number one (1) in Nigeria and has improved to number 17 in Africa. Its world ranking has also improved to 1405. University of Ibadan came a distant 2nd in Nigeria, 27th in Africa and 1755 in the world. Other Nigerian universities were ranked very lowly!
Congrats to the VC and the administration for encouraging top quality scholarly work in UNN. Congrats to all UNN staff members for the achievement!!!
Please, let’s increase the momentum so that we can break into the top 10 in Africa and top 1000 in the world.
The summary of the ranking is presented in the table (top 30 Universities in Africa):
