Babcock Leads Nigerian University’s Ranking and Awarded Best Private University In Africa

Babcock University was recently ranked as the foremost Nigerian private university by Webometrics. Webometrics is the world acclaimed independent university/colleges ranking organization.

The research adjudged Babcock's website as the most active, visited and popular of all private universities in Nigeria.

This means that information on the institution is the most sought of all private universities in the country. Besides, the research ranked Babcock's website as the 12th most frequently visited of all the 117 Nigerian universities.

Curiously, only 78 Nigerian universities made the ranking, whereas 39 others never merited mentioning for failing to meet the irreducible minimum requirements for ranking.

Similarly, Babcock University has been nominated by the All Africa Students Union (AASU) as the continent's best private university for the year 2011. It has therefore conferred on her the "All Africa Students Union Award of Excellence". This recognition comes even though the university's student association (Babcock University Students Association) is not a registered member of the AASU. The union hailed this feat as exceptional in the nation's education history.

In a related development, Professor J.A. Kayode-Makinde, the President/Vice Chancellor of Babcock University has been nominated as Africa's Most Outstanding University Administrator for the year 2011 AASU Award of Excellence.

They predicated this on the various verifiable development projects on the university campus and the series of laurels won by the university, both as a corporate entity and through her students.

In his response, Professor Kayode-Makinde said the honour is added tonic to his zeal to accomplish the mission on which God has sent him.
