Nigeria and the eighth in Africa in the latest
webometric ranking.
This was contained in the university's news
bulletin issued on Tuesday, quoting the new
Webometric rating by Cybermetric Lab of Spain,
a world-renowned research council.
The publication stated that the council rated OAU higher on the ladder from number 14 to eight in Africa.
It also confirmed the university's academic
excellence and intellectual supremacy, saying this was the first time that a Nigerian university
would be so ranked consecutively.
"This is a development that academic analysts
and managements of universities in Africa have
hailed as a monumental leap for educational
advancement in Nigeria," it stated.
Reacting, the institution's Vice-Chancellor,
Professor Bamitale Omole, attributed the giant
strides recorded by his administration to
unparalleled research output, administrative
acumen as well as the technical competence of
the staff .
Omole added that only a focused leadership, the
hallmark of his management team , could
produce such a feat.
He commended the dedication to duty of all
stakeholders in making sure that the ideas of the
founding fathers of the university became a
reality.
The vice-chancellor urged the Federal
Government not to relent in its efforts to
improve on the funding of education.
Omole said adequate funding would ensure that
"the increased penchant for travelling abroad to
undergo academic programmes that could be
taught better by our lecturers here in Nigeria
would be a thing of the past.''
