What A Shame! No Nigerian Universities Made The 2016 Top1000 Universities In The World

The collapse of the Nigerian education system have become very obvious as no single higher institution in the country made the list of 2016 Top 1000 Universities in the world as released by Centre for World University Rankings (CWUR)

 

The Centre for World University Rankings (CWUR) has released its 2016 Top 1000 Universities in the world and placed Harvard University, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, all in the United States, in the top three spots respectively.

 
The University of Cambridge and University of Oxford, both in United Kingdom, came 4th and 5th respectively, as University of Witwatersand, South Africa (176th) ranked first in Africa.
 
Others were University of Cape Town (265th), Stellenbosch University (329th), University of KwaZulu-Natal (468th) and the University of Pretoria (697th), all in South Africa, and Makerere University in Uganda also clinched the 846th position in the ranking.
 
Four Egyptian Universities also represented Africa on the list, they are: Cairo University (771st), Ain Shams University (960th), Mansoura University (985th), and Alexandria University (995th).
 
According to CWUR website, there are eight objective and robust indicators to rank the world’s top 1000 universities. They are:
 
1. Quality of Education: measured by the number of a university’s alumni who have won major international awards, prizes, and medals relative to the university’s size (25%)
 
2. Alumni Employment, measured by the number of a university’s alumni who have held CEO positions at the world’s top companies relative to the university’s size (25%)
 
3. Quality of Faculty, measured by the number of academics who have won major international awards, prizes, and medals (25%)
 
4. Publications, measured by the number of research papers appearing in reputable journals (5%)
 
5. Influence, measured by the number of research papers appearing in highly-influential journals (5%)
 
6. Citations, measured by the number of highly-cited research papers (5%)
 
7. Broad Impact, measured by the university’s h-index (5%)
 
8. Patents, measured by the number of international patent filings (5%)

What could be the MAJOR cause of this collapse in the education sector of our GREAT country Nigeria?

Really?
Let's look at something, how many of our universities are involved in research and not book/theory work?
We have so many engineering graduates but we are still yet to get any patent directly originating from Nigeria. So what is the lie there?

The Nigeria Football Federation receives more funding than all the Universities in the land combined... No surprises there.
Not even the top 5,000 Universities either
