As a result, the rankings were determined by research, employability, faculty, and education rank.

Commenting on the national picture, the President of the Center for World University Rankings, Dr Nadin Mahassen said: “While it is encouraging to see Nigeria making gains in the rankings, funding to further promote the development and reputation of Nigeria’s higher education system is vital if the country aspires to be more competitive on the global stage. Efforts must be made to ensure that Nigeria attracts top academics and students, that increasing enrollment numbers at universities come alongside increases in a teaching capacity, and that tertiary education expenditure as a percentage of the national GDP steadily grows in the years to come.”
