FG to rank tertiary institutions nationwide on 22 indicators

The Federal Government of Nigeria has set December 15, 2026, as the deadline for completing its national ranking of universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. The exercise, led by the Nigerian Tertiary Education Ranking Advisory Committee under the Federal Ministry of Education, aims to strengthen institutional performance and improve the country's global competitiveness.

Universities will be assessed using 22 indicators, and the rankings are expected to be completed before the specified deadline. The initiative represents an expansion of the government's approach to assessing tertiary education, moving beyond universities to include other tertiary institutions.
