The University of Ibadan (UI), Covenant University, and Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) have been ranked top in Nigeria by Webometrics latest rating.

Despite UI being the best in Nigeria, it ranked 1196 in the world; thus signifying no Nigerian university featured in the top 1000 globally.

The Webometrics ranking started in 2004 (current is the 18th year of publication) “with the aim of offer full coverage of Higher Education Institutions whatever the country or discipline involve”.

“Currently we ranked 31 000 HEIs from more than 200 countries,” Webometrics stated on its website.

According to Webometrics, its ranking is “not a ranking of the websites of Universities, it is a Ranking of Universities. It uses both webometric (all missions) and bibliometric (research mission) indicators”.
