Three universities in Nigeria – Covenant University, University of Ibadan, and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka – have been included in the 2019 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

The list, launched on Wednesday at Times Higher Education’s World Academic Summit at the National University of Singapore, featured 86 countries, up from 81.

Covenant University is ranked 601- 800, out of more than 1,250 higher education institutions on the list, same with the University of Ibadan.

University of Nigeria, Nsukka, is ranked 1001+.

This is a slight improvement for Nigeria, compared to last year’s ranking where only one school, the University of Ibadan, made the list and was ranked 801–1000.

Covenant University and University of Ibadan occupy fifth and sixth position respectively on the table of all the 28 African ranked institutions for the 2019 ranking.

University of Nigeria, Nsukka, is 23 on the African table.

South African institutions – University of Cape Town, ranked =156; University of the Witwatersrand, ranked 201–250; Stellenbosch University, ranked 301–350; and University of KwaZulu-Natal, ranked 401–500 – occupy first, second, third, and fourth position on the African table.

Another three South African universities – University of Johannesburg, ranked 601–800; University of Pretoria, ranked 601–800; and University of the Western Cape, 601–800 – sit below Nigeria on the African table, occupying seventh, eighth, and ninth positions respectively.
