The Nigerian Federal Government has mandated all tertiary institutions—universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education—to participate in the nation’s ranking exercise. Education Minister Dr. Tunji Alausa announced the policy during a meeting in Abuja, signaling a broadened scope for the ranking system previously focused solely on universities. This move aims to enhance the quality and accountability of higher education across the country. The Nigerian Universities Ranking Advisory Committee has been expanded to oversee the implementation of the wider-reaching ranking process. The government believes a comprehensive ranking will foster healthy competition and drive improvements in educational standards. Details regarding the specific ranking criteria and methodology were not immediately available, but the policy indicates a commitment to evaluating and publicizing institutional performance. This initiative is expected to influence student choices and resource allocation within the tertiary education sector.
