The Webometrics University Ranking, which provides indicators for
more than 12,000 universities in the world, is based on university web
presence, visibility and web access.
The ranking system measures how strongly a university is present in the
web by its own web domain, sub-pages, rich files and published scholarly
articles.
According to the ranking system, web presence is a reliable indicator of
the global performance and prestige of the universities and could serve
as an indirect way to measure efficiency of universities in the
performance of their tripartite function of teaching, research and
knowledge transfer.
"The Vanguard reports that spokesman of UNN, Chief Okwun Omeaku
made this known at Nsukka, saying that the improved rating of the
institution was not unconnected with the enhanced research efforts in
the university following the Vice-Chancellor's encouragement and
financial reward system.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the replacement
of 13 vice chancellors of Nigerian universities.
Twelve of them are federal ones, and Vincent Tenebe, the vice chancellor
of the National Open University, has also been relieved of his position.
All these institutions were established by the former president, Goodluck
Jonathan."
