I think Landmark University should be listed considering the fact that they produced 45 students with 1st class and that is just their first set. The University is 4 years old.

For Babcock university they are good,they have conducive environment for learning but the only problem is that they treat their student like primary school children,while university of llorin is one of the best university we have in Nigeria today others university are good too but it depends on the students..so please we should not accredited any school because they are all the same….All we need is to get to the promise land because we are the leaders of tomorrow…

why are u guys bringing sentiment into the ranging of the universities, the people that did the ranging know their criteria for doing so. no body has said that Al-hikma is not a good school nor trying to omit the name becos its an isamic school. pls let that not be a course for anger becos their is a standard use in ranging this universities.

It’s quite unfortunate how youths of Nigeria reason.need I to remind you that there are so many graduates from our know universities that have no job doing? It is not all about the name of institution rather it’s about the material & stock you’re made of.when you eventually graduate from your so called great university, what can you give to the society.Sweetheart, I need you to know from today that ” what makes you, is not the school you attended but the person you choose to be.let us stop all this baseless & lousy arguments

please no one should mention Al-hikmah university again. I am currently a student there and I regret my decision, I mean we were taught better in my secondary school(Sacred Heart Marist Colledge Ejule) than this uni. its a school with poor facilities, a school were lectures just download study materials from the net and come to class and read it to us. I mean have you seen any university that accepts students during the second seemester. there are just after the money. I won’t reccomend it to anyone and I am seriously looking for a way out because I am just wasting my time here as well as my parents money.

@shapzzy you are very wrong. I wouldn’t know of your department and i wouldn’t know the type of student you are.
But i can bet it Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria is one of the best private universities in Nigeria and if all these federal universities are not very careful i am very sure they will be gazing at the university at the top.
There is serene learning environment, reputable lecturer and standard learning and research facilities. I just believe whatever you get from the university depends on the kind of student you are.
You can’t expect lecturers to open your head and inject the knowledge into it. And you can’t compare universities with secondary schools, i am very sorry you have to be lectured in university so don’t compare it with the teaching of secondary schools.
And lastly in a university vicinity you need to cook yourself, so you don’t need to attribute your failure to your lecturers or school management.
You need to be conscious of your public conducts.
Thanks and Good luck to you.
I remain Abdullahi, a graduate of Microbiology, Alhikmah University, Ilorin (2015/16)
