The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to rank tertiary institutions nationwide by December 15, 2026. Universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education will be assessed using 22 indicators as part of efforts to enhance institutional performance and boost Nigeria's global competitiveness. The ranking exercise, coordinated by the Nigerian Tertiary Education Ranking Advisory Committee (NiTERAC) under the Federal Ministry of Education, aims to establish a national framework for measuring institutional performance and promoting competition among public and private tertiary institutions.
NiTERAC Chairman, Prof. Peter Okebukola, disclosed these details in a September 30, 2026 presentation, following a directive from Education Minister Dr. Tunji Alausa. The national ranking will stimulate internal competition and position the Nigerian tertiary education system for improved global rankings.
