ABU is supposed to be first. Is outstanding and my university. How can Ilorin,Lagos uni together with those other uni be above ABU on the list. Please go back and redo your findings and put ABU first. That uni is the best. Thanks

the list above is absolute rubbish… what is d criteria for compelling d list in d first place?? i strongly disagree wit some of the rankings
1) what is auchi polytechnic doing on the list?
2) why is Ambrose Ali uni(where exam malpractice nd cult activities rules) ranked above schools where serious learning is d order of the day e.g Eksu and AAUA.
3) Which of the national open universities??? abi na all of dem good?
4) if Landmark and Madonna are that high on this list then ABUAD shud be been ranked above 32nd. Thou d school is young but they have set a very good standard for others.
5) what is Federal university Oye doing in No 17??? while beta schools r ranked below. thou i don’t really av much against d first 6 positions, but frm 7th -50th is nonsense!

As frustrating as Michael Okpara University, they made 37. Useless and busy producing students with low grades.
