We have come out with the 2020 list of the top 20 best universities in Nigeria, please note that this is not just another regular list.

Nigeria is diverse country with 3 major ethnic groups and other minority ethnic groups with over 36 states with all clamoring for a university in their states. Currently there are more than 100 universities in Nigeria, Federal, States and private which is why JAMB Joint Admission and Matriculation Board) and the NUC (Nigerian University Commission) has a major role to play in the educational sector in Nigeria, so the quest to be amongst the top 20 best University in Nigeria comes with a lot of efforts and results put together.

There are various criteria for choosing the best universities in Nigeria, but one thing must be made known, there is no university in that is best at everything, some universities are best at some courses  for example, we wrote about best university to study Accounting Medicine and surgery, best university to study engineering and other tech courses, but on the average, there are some universities that rank higher than the others when all is put together aside just education.

List of Top 20 Best Universities in Nigeria 2020 (Updated List)

Choosing the best universities in Nigeria comes with a lot of headaches, scrutiny and other measures that must be taken into consideration when carrying out the research. We have come out with the 2020 list of the top 20 best universities in Nigeria, please note that this is not just another regular list.

Nigeria is diverse country with 3 major ethnic groups and other minority ethnic groups with over 36 states with all clamoring for a university in their states.

When choosing the best university in Nigeria, we will not be partial, as we are doing our selections from private, states and federal Universities in Nigeria

Unlike primary and secondary schools where the best usually are chosen from the beauty and the expensive school fees, its a different case entirely with higher institutions, here we will highlight below, criteria for choosing the best university in Nigeria or any other country in the world.

CRITERIA FOR OUR SELECTION PROCESS

There are various criteria for choosing the best universities in Nigeria, but one thing must be made known, there is no university in that is best at everything, some universities are best at some courses  for example, we wrote about best university to study Accounting Medicine and surgery, best university to study engineering and other tech courses, but on the average, there are some universities that rank higher than the others when all is put together aside just education.

1. Learning Environments of the University

This is a major factor that is considered when choosing the top 20 universities in Nigeria, when you visit most Nigerian universities and their lecture halls, the heat that emanates from the overcrowded students inside the hall would be enough to boil a kettle of water. In cases like this, how can student’s concentration be at 100%, it is so bad that most of the students sit on windows, some stand while some stay at the corridor listening to the lecturer via the pathetic public address system. But a conducive learning environment says it all, there is concentration at its peak, lecturer to student interaction, rooms for practical, question and answering, not forgetting the ability to given tests and mark. All these put together can determine if a university is worth being on the top 20 list of best universities in Nigeria.

2. Quality and Quantity of Lecturers of the University

Quantity and Quality of lecturers in the university is another factor, there are cases where universities are short staffed, that are the main reason some courses are dis-accredited by the NUC, there is this popular saying “Garbage in Garbage Out” the truth is, you cannot give out what you do not have.  When much is given, much is expected, so is the case with having quality lecturers. When the technical know-how is passed on to the students, it is only normal for the student to be well grounded in the course of study. Do u wonder why some companies upon recruitment stipulate what university should apply for the job vacancy? This is what is obtainable when quality lecturers offer quality lectures to students. With this you would agree with me is one of the factors for choosing the top 20 best universities in Nigeria

3. Learning Facilities

There is this saying that while you pass through the university, the university must also pass through you. It is vice versa, being educated does not literally means you are exposed. Being exposed is something that most schools have not acclimatized their students with. There are cases where so called graduates cannot make good use of a simple machine in the case of engineering students, or practical in the case of science students and the list could go on and on. Being able to practice the theoretical aspect of your course puts you ahead of others. The top 20 best universities in Nigeria usually have these facilities in place because it is a major criteria being among the top 20 universities in Nigeria.

Now to the nitti-gritty, we have collated the top 20 best universities in Nigeria, from the bottom to the number one spot. The top spot signifies the best university in Nigeria among the top 20 on the list.

FUTMINNA holds number 11 position on the ranking table. Thumbs up to the great institution.

10) UNIVERSITY OF PORT HARCOURT (UNIPORT)

Finally, a university from the south-south region of Nigeria makes the list. I do not think it is surprising rather, it is expected.

6) COVENANT UNIVERSITY OTA, OGUN STATE

Without doubt, this privately owned university is among the best universities in Nigeria and beyond it shores. On the private level, Covenant University is unarguably the best University in Nigeria. They are stylishly referred to as CU students. The university turns out one of the highest number of 1st class students yearly and the truth remains that they prove it beyond the four walls of the university.

Covenant University is owned by popular clergy man Bishop Oyedepo who is regarded as the richest pastor in Africa and top 3 in the world. He is known for instilling discipline on his students though many have kicked against his high handed ness towards students considering the rate of expulsion and suspension not minding the huge school fees being coughed out by parents and guidance.

Talking about beauty and learning environment, Covenant University is top notch, with state of the art facilities, quality lecturers, speedy academic session and robust calendar to accommodate various programmes, Covenant University sits comfortably on the number 6 spot on the list of top 20 best universities in Nigeria. That is truly a feat to behold.

5) UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN (UNILORIN)

Ask us about the Federal University with the fastest academic calendar in Nigeria and we will point at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN). This federal university was established in 1975 and is located at 1515, Unilorin Staff Quarters, Amodu Bello Way, Ilorin, Kwara state.

The university as at today has a total enrollments of over 20,000 undergraduate students and offers various degree courses you can look through the list of courses offered in Unilorin for confirmation, also post graduate diploma, Masters and PhD programmes are offered in the university.

4) AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY ZARIA

This is the flagship universities of the north.

ABU Zaria boasts of quality lecturers and conducive learning environment, hostel facilities to accommodate its students for undergraduate and post graduate level. It ranks on the number 4th position on the list of the top 20 best university in Nigeria. That’s a huge feat to achieve.

3) OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY (OAU) ILE-IFE OSUN STATE

Whenever OAU is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is their unique structural design, built to accommodate the topographical nature of the soil the school is built on.

OAU has the best structure in Nigeria and West Africa. A den for professors and radical students though intelligent. Formerly known as the University of Ife before being named after one of Nigeria’s foremost leaders Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

OAU was established in 1961 but proper lecture commenced in October the following year (1962), therefore, not many would argue why OAU should be on this list, a visit to the university would convince you. OAU holds the number 3 position also known as the 1st runner-up on the list of the top 20 best universities in Nigeria.

2) UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS (UNILAG) AKOKA LAGOS STATE

The University of Lagos upon establishment used to be a Federal Government research university upon its establishment in 1962. UNILAG has a total number of about 58,000 students both Undergraduate and Postgraduates combined. I remember back in the days, university of Lagos used to be for the rich kids, and this put pressure on many that were not in the league of fresh kids just to match up. This is a university with style, class, and pride. Structurally, one thing they are known for is their Senate Building, cosy environment and standard learning environment. It is the only University in Nigeria with its customized radio station known as Unilag FM.

UNILAG till date prides itself as one of the best universities in Nigeria  with an organized DLI (Distant Learning Institute) this gives workers most especially the opportunity to acquire a degree certificate in the course of their choice. Well, Some refer to it as the best university in Nigeria, it is a personal opinion though.

Also, their Post Graduate School is top notch, top personalities holding key positions in Nigeria can attest to this claim. The University of Lagos Akoka prides itself on the number 2 position of the Best University In Nigeria. Double Thumbs up to them, getting to the top is tough but remaining there is tougher.

1) UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, IBADAN, OYO STATE

Finally we are here, this is the moment everyone has been waiting for, the question for the best university in Nigeria is finally answered. Being the premier university in Nigeria does not in any way make it the best, the unequivocal truth is that the University of Ibadan is an embodiment of completeness in totality.

When you come across a UI student, its not hard to decipher, he or she wears he awe around, the school is known for producing the best. An average UI student is equals to an above average student in any the university in Nigeria. They make use of CGPA rather than GPA tat other Universities in Nigeria make use of, so they work extra hard to get good grades which practically leaves no room for unwarranted gallivanting.

Structurally, they are almost second to none, Talking about lecturers, they have some of the highest professors in Nigeria, UCH (University College Hospital) ranks among the best in African, just name it, The University of Ibadan is in a league of their own therefore regarded as the best university in Nigeria which automatically make it top the 2020 list of top 20 best Universities in Nigeria

HISTORY OF NIGERIA REVIEW

Although the years since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999 have seen an increased interest in its history and politics, Nigeria remains one of the most under-researched African countries today, especially in relation to its size and its cultural, political and economic importance. Toyin Falola and Matthew M. Heaton address this predicament with an immensely readable and up-to-date introduction to Nigerian history. Providing a chronology, the CVs of notable Nigerians and a good number of contemporary images, their book makes it easy for readers to engage with Nigerian history in a number of different ways. Selected bibliographies for each chapter include excellent references to a large number of African authors and invite the reader to explore the book’s main themes further, as well as emphasizing that the book was not produced in an ideological space limited by European and North American approaches to the study of Africa. The authors’ concern with the African experience also shapes the book’s first two chapters, which offer a discussion of states and societies in the region from 9,000 BCE to the early nineteenth century. Chapter 1 engages with the continuing influence of European and Egypt-centred interpretations of African history in scholarly debate, and while it acknowledges and validates the links of many early societies in what is now Nigeria with other parts of the world, it also emphasizes the importance of local developments. In the second chapter, the authors explore the importance of slavery and the slave trade for pre-colonial states and societies, and explain how local systems of slavery differed from those in the New World and especially America. In this way they address the focus on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries offered in most comparable publications and introduce the reader to important debates about African history. After these introductory chapters, the book refers more directly to debates on Nigeria. The third chapter emphasizes the success of the Sokoto caliphate after 1804 before the eventual establishment of British rule from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, discussed in Chapter 4. The authors suggest that while the expansion of Islamic government created great instability in the south, it also led to a pre-colonial consolidation of much of Nigeria’s present territory under African leadership. But Falola and Heaton are not nostalgic about any form of empire or its elites, and they treat the success of the caliphate in the same way they discuss the greater and more enduring success of the British, by emphasizing the alien and transformation nature of government produced on the basis of military victory and administrative integration. As a result, the authors are not only able to offer a balanced assessment of both African and European strategies of expansion in the age of imperialism, but also provide an insight into the agency of local groups in the contradictory struggles preceding the creation of the colonial state. Chapters 5 and 6 concentrate on colonial Nigeria, and the authors divide this period by the nature of African engagement with the state. They suggest that the early decades of colonial rule were characterized by localized responses to administrative and economic innovation, and that the 1929 Women’s War in south-east Nigeria represented the beginning of strategies of protest and engagement beyond the boundaries of local communities. Their emphasis on the nature of Nigerian society allows the authors to foreground the social changes associated with colonial rule, such as the ossification and stratification of existing hierarchies through Indirect Rule, on the one hand, and the dramatic social transformation associated with urbanization and shifting gender roles on the other. In reflection of such contradictions, the 1930s saw the beginning of political activity that would lead eventually to the independence of Nigeria, but they also witnessed the rise of class differences, compounded by ethnic and regional chauvinism. As a result, Nigeria was both economically dependent and politically divided when it emerged from Britsh rule in 1960. Chapter 7 explores the political instability and the civil war which marred the first decade of Nigeria’s independence and led to the emergence of the Nigerian military as the country’s main political force. As Chapter 8 illustrates…

NIMC: NIN IS FREE

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) says it has over 700,000 National e-ID cards yet to be collected by Nigerians from its offices nationwide.

National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has warned Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) candidates for 2020 to be wary of fraudsters while obtaining their National Identity Number (NIN).

The commission, which gave the warning in Abuja, stressed that candidates are not supposed to pay any fee to obtain the NIN.

The Federal Government, through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has made the NIN compulsory for all candidates planning to write next year’s UTME.

The commission said no worker should ask for money to register the UTME candidates as the registration and issuance of the NIN and ID cards are free.

The commission’s General Manager for Information Technology and Identity Database, Mr Chuks Onyepunuka, gave the warning at a symposium organized by the Computer-Based Test Centres Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria for examination bodies in the country.

Onyepunuka, who addressed reporters, explained that the introduction of the NIN for the 2020 UTME would help the JAMB to tackle double registration and biometric failures.

The manager said the NIN would help the board to also checkmate infractions.

He said: “It is not only JAMB that we are collaborating with; we are partnering with the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) for the renewal and issuance of passports. So, for JAMB, they are focusing on the examination. They recognize that NIMC has the strength to manage the identity of the candidates. They don’t want to bother themselves in the areas they do not have strength.”

“Their strength is to organize the examination. With the NIN, you cannot beat the system. Candidates cannot change the biometrics.”

JAMB Warns Candidates Against Accepting Admission Outside CAPS

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned candidates against accepting any admission that does not pass through its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) as any offer of admission not validated on JAMB’S profile page or offered through the CAPS is invalid. 

According to JAMB, there have been complaints from the general public that three Public Universities have devised a method of “offering admission” to candidates outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) on their own designated portals.

JAMB Warns Candidates Against Accepting Admission Outside CAPS

JAMB described this as a deliberate act done with the intent to lure unsuspecting candidates to accept other programme  (courses) aside from their programmes  (courses) of choice.

The board re-emphasized that the CAPS system is  designed among other things to

i. prevent institutions from unilaterally changing or proposing a candidate for admission into other programmes (courses) other than his/her chosen one;

ii. disallow an institution to skip a higher ranking candidate to pick a less ranking candidate;

iii. allow an institution to recommend a substitute programme for the consent or rejection by a relatively low-ranking candidate who is not likely to secure a place in his/her initial programme.

iv. allow a low-ranking candidate on each programme to, on his or her own, opt-out of consideration from the initial programme and be considered for a programme where he/she ranks high enough to be considered.

It, therefore, warned that any candidate who accepts such offer of admission does so at his or her own risk as there will be no regularisation of any irregular or illegal admission.

The board added that appropriate caution has been given to these universities which are to promptly withdraw and desist from such illegitimate action and any of such act will henceforth be visited with appropriate sanctions.

House of Reps. Asks JAMB To Suspend NIN Requirement for UTME Registration

The House of Representatives has called on the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to suspend the policy of National Identification Number (NIN) as a requirement for candidates intending to register for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)

This followed a motion presented by Zainab Gimba (APC, Borno) who called on JAMB to review the policy on the use of NIN for prospective applicants until 2021.

House of Reps. Asks JAMB To Suspend NIN Requirement for UTME Registration

According to her,  it was necessary for JAMB to review the timeline pending the establishment of more enrollment centres by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) across the country. 

She further stated that although many Nigerians turned out to be captured by NIMC, most have not been able to do so due to infrastructural challenges like poor network, power failure, no power supply and sometimes inadequate manpower or equipment to attend to them. she mentioned that an official of NIMC recently disclosed that less than 20 percent of Nigerians are captured in their database.

The lawmaker urged the board to extend the use of the national ID  “in order to allow more time and better awareness for prospective candidates as many prospective candidates from remote locations in the country may not be able to register for the UTME due to non-registration with the NIMC. 

She suggested that JAMB should collaborate more with NIMC, states and local governments for efficient registration of its prospective candidates.

UTME 2020: What To Do While Waiting For Commencement of Registration

We are expecting the announcement of the 2020 UTME Registration soon; hopefully before the end of the year. It is important that prospective UTME candidates know that it is never too early to start preparing for it. As a matter of fact, based on experience, one of the keys to smooth registration and success in every UTME is early preparation.

So this post will guide you on the few things you need to be doing at the moment while we wait for the commencement of the UTME sales of form and the registration.

UTME 2020: What To Do While Waiting For Commencement of Registration

1. Get your National Identification Number (NIN): In case you do not know already, no candidate will be allowed to register for the 2020 UTME without having a NIN. We earlier provided a step-by-step procedure on how you can acquire NIN. So if you are yet to get yours, visit this link: NIN Application Guidelines and follow the instructions to get yours.

2. Know The Course You Want To Study: Deciding on the course you intend to study is one of the things you should do now before the registration begins. This is because you need time to think before settling down for a career/course. You shouldn’t pick any course. It has to be a course you have passion for; one that you have knowledge about. 

3. Know the School You Intend to Apply for: Just like in choosing a course, you need to equally know beforehand the institution you want to apply for. Your criteria in choosing one should be based on whether the school offers the course you intend to study, the admission requirements of the school, the school fees as well as other personal preferences like location etc 

4. Know the subject combination for your course: A lot of students make this mistake by choosing the wrong subject combinations for their course.  If you want to avoid any form of mistake, use “the JAMB Brochure”, to see the required subject combination for the various courses before registration begins. Remember, that choosing the wrong one can jeopardize your chances of gaining admission.  Be wise!!!

5. Start Studying Smart: Finally, start studying now and don’t just study hard, learn to study smart. By now you should know that a good number of JAMB past questions are repeated every year. To study smart, you need to practice with the Myschool JAMB CBT Mobile App for android phones or the Myschool JAMB CBT Software for Computer systems. Both contain over 40,000 JAMB past questions and answers. You can equally check out the Myschool CBT Classroom. 

Schools, Institutions, Tutorial Centres, Business Centres & Cafes can start setting up their CBT Centres to become JAMB CBT Agents and Training Centres to help train students for the upcoming exams. For details on how to proceed,

With all that has been said, I believe you now see the need to start your preparation now before the registration begins. Once the UTME Registration for 2020 Begins, we will publish it here on portal57.code.blog and give you step by step details on how to successfully proceed with your registration.
