The highly reliable and trusted Times Higher Education Impact Rankings has ranked the 12-year old Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, ABUAD, as the Best University in Nigeria and one of the best 400 in the world.
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, respected worldwide by Students, Teachers, Governments and Industry experts, focuses on “helping the world’s universities to achieve excellence” by looking at performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across four key areas of teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.
The International Ranking Body University Rankings 2022 included more than 1,600 universities across 99 countries and territories, making them the largest and most diverse university rankings to date.
The ranking analysed more than 108 million citations across over 14.4 million research publications and included survey responses from almost 22,000 scholars globally.
It was learnt that over 430,000 data points were collected from more than 2,100 institutions that submitted data.
The global ranking for ABUAD is coming 10 months after the Alper-Doger Scientific Index, ranked the same university as the “Best Research University” among the 99 Private Universities in Nigeria and No. 10 out of 197 Public and Private Universities in Nigeria in July 2021.
The development was published on the website of The Times Higher Education World University Rankings’ website.
In his reaction, the Ag. Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. E. Smaranda Olarinde, attributed the uncommon feat to the cooperation that the University has consistently received from all stakeholders such as the National Universities Commission, NUC, the Medical & Dental Council of Nigeria, MDCN, Council for Legal Education and the Nigerian Society of Engineers, NSE, among others, the parents, the ever-committed teachers and the teeming student population of the University.
