Harvard University with a whopping 100 points, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (96.7points) and Stanford University (95.1) retained the number one, two and three spots in the world university rankings for the fourth time in a row.

The ranking comes as Nigerian public universities dally in endless shutdown occasioned by longstanding industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

ASUU embarked on its latest strike accusing the Muhammadu Buhari administration of having a lacklustre attitude to education over its failure to implement the 2020FGN/ASUU Memorandum of Action.
