INTRODUCTION
Universities all over the world are accepted as the citadel of learning and development of human resources.
The entire intellectual and professional life of a country depend on sound higher education especially university education that provides quality (products) graduates of international standard (1kharehon, 2012).
The recent debate about the place of Nigerian universities has once again drawn attention to the lowly place of higher education among national priorities.
Whereas web metric ranking of universities which measures web presence and content does not mention a single Nigerian university until after 1,600 others have been mentioned the quantitative survey world university ranking which concentrates on programme and instructional content does not mention a Nigerian university at all (Aluede, 2012).
On the African scene, the story of Nigeria University is not different. Till the early 1980s, university of Ibadan did not just lead the league of Africans most prestigious universities ranking best among others like the university of Ghana,
Legion, Makarere University, Uganda, university of Nairobi, Kenya, and university of Dar-es- Salam, Tanzania, but was also seen as leading light of the most prestigious universities in modern Africa from the late 1940s.
