The AD Scientific Index ranking 2024 has ranked the Redeemers University as the best private university in Nigeria. The AD Scientific Index also ranked Nile University and the Maryam Abacha American University as the top two private universities in Northern Nigeria.
The ‘AD Scientific Index’ is one of the best rankings for scientists in the world.
According to the ranking, published on the website of AD Scientific, and titled ‘Nigeria Private Universities Ranking 2024’, Redeemers University emerged tops while Covenant University, Afe Babalola University, Babcock University, African University of Science & Technology, Benson Idahosa University, Christopher University, Tansian University, Landmark University, Nile University of Nigeria, and Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria placed second to eleventh, respectively.
Bowen University, American University of Nigeria, Lagos Business School Pan Atlantic University, Elizade University, Topfaith University, Pan African University, Crescent University, Glorious Vision University, and Trinity University rounded off the top-20.
The ‘AD Scientific Index’ on its website said the University Rankings will not only show the areas in which a university is best or focused but also reflect the results of the institutions’ scientific recruitment policies.
This feature reveals the ability of institutions to attract successful scientists and the ability of institutions to promote advances and retain scientists.
‘AD Scientific Index’ is the only university/institution ranking system that analyses the distribution of scientists in an institution according to the top %10, %20, %40, %60, %80 percentiles and total scientists.
MAAUN was established in 2021 by renowned philanthropist, Professor Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo, who is also the founder of Niger Republic’s best private university, Maryam Abacha American University of Niger.
Reacting to the ranking, Prof. Dr Bikash Sharma, co-founder and president of International Academic and Management Association, described it as a stepping stone for MAAUN.
Sharma said: “It’s high time that we did a complete overhaul of the education system globally, employing the best lecturers, and equipping our universities with the best facilities.
“MAAUN achieving this feat in less than three tears is not surprising. The founder has proved his commitment to standard and internationalisation.”
“It is high time that we move from traditional teaching to experiential learning,”
On his part, Isa Gwadabe, an educationist, hailed MAAUN for projecting its image through commitment to academic excellence.
“This is not an achievement to the institution alone but to the entire Kano State and Nigeria in particular. Among all the universities that were given licences together, MAAUN is leading in just less than 3 years,” he added.
“I hope other institutions will emulate MAAUN towards achieving this great feat,” he further stated.
