For a very long time,the debate for the best university in Nigeria among
students across the country has been a heated one,well,for a university
to be adjudged the best among the rest, such university must have
attain some heights and create some standards that will clearly
distinguish her from other universities.
From my own perspective,a university should be ranked based on the following factors
1-academic research
2-Achievements
3-Academic standards
4-productivity
5-employment opportunities
6-efficiency and speed
In terms of research,OAU is pacesetter among Nigeria universities,she
pioneered the introduction of entrepreneurship education at the
undergraduate level before it was adopted nationally by the Nigeria
university commission(NUC).
OAU is the leading ICT university in Nigeria with a bandwidth of
113mbit/s as well as ilab,the first of it kind in south of Sahara
Africa,the school also has it own V-sat access to the internet with a
well developed intranet.
It's medical school started with an integrated curriculum and community
development that was later adopted by the world health organisation(WHO)
Achievement-OAU achievement is second to none among Nigeria
universities,the first Siamese twins to be successfully separated in
sub-Saharan Africa was performed at the university teaching
hospital(OAUTH) Also-she started the first faculty of pharmacy in west
Africa,the first department of chemical engineering and the first
electronic components in addition to electrical engineering.
Academic standards-for a long time,OAU is known for excellent academic
standards, it vigorous style of learning was the major reason while
students changed the motto of the school from"for learning and culture
to for learning and torture ".
productivity-OAU is ranked the most productive university by the NUC and
shanghai university as it relates to Africa,no wonder while three
professors, Bolaji Aluko,Nahzeem Olufemi Mimiko and Oladapo afolabi(all
products of OAU) are the current vice -chancellors of federal university
Otuoke, Bayelsa state,Adekunle Ajasin university,Ondo and head o
service of the federation respectively.
Employment opportunities -here I"ll talk about a third class OAU
graduate been considered ahead of second class graduates of other
institutions in the labour market.
Efficiency and speed- here,OAU lagged behind other universities because
the school is practically slow but this point can also be explained with
the fact that OAU students are well informed and will do anything to
protect their rights.
Consequently,OAU remain Nigeria best, all these facts can be verified.....great Ife lives forever.
