God’s own University, Covenant, continues to maintain her pre-eminent status as an institution in a class of its own by emerging the best Nigerian University in the just-released 2021 Subject Rankings of the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings.

These are Arts and Humanities, Business and Economics, Clinical and Health, Computer Science, Education, Engineering, Law, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Psychology, and Social Sciences,
Covenant, indeed, had for the past couple of years been the leading Nigerian institution in the THE Subject Rankings.

The other Nigerian institution ranked in this category was the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, which emerged 601+.

Other Nigerian universities in this category were ranked 601+. These were all 1st generation Nigerian institutions. They included the University of Ibadan, University of Lagos, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
While Covenant was placed in the 501-600 bracket in the Subject Rankings for Engineering, other Nigerian institutions were in far distant positions in the table. Obafemi Awolowo University was ranked in the 801-1000 bracket, while the University of Ibadan, University of Lagos, and University of Nigeria, Nsukka, all emerged 1001+.
