The Vice-Chancellor, University of Lagos, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, has disclosed that efforts are ongoing to position the institution among the global best institutions.
Ogundipe, who made the disclosure in Lagos on Saturday 14th September, 2019, reacted to the institution’s recent rating by the Times Higher Education (THE), a foremost universities ranking body.
“This body has never ranked the University of Lagos for about 15 years, he said.
“For the first time in the World Universities ranking 2020 released on Sept. 11, the institution was placed in the 801 to 1,000 group, he added.
“My vision is to make the institution number one in Nigeria and one of Africa’s top four by 2022,” Ogundipe said.
While commending and appreciating the efforts of the staff and students for their hard work and commitment, Ogundipe leveraged the opportunity to urge the staff and students to think of new ideas that would further take the university to greater heights.
