WEBOMETRICS TOP NIGERIAN SCHOOLS (S/SOUTH)

 Nigerian Federal Schools Rankings (South South)

List number 5 for Webometrics is here, and we are in the oil zone, Nigeria’s money supply, the Niger Delta. We have covered the Northern part of the country, and now we are south. We have seen the South West too, and we are in the Niger Delta. States in The South West are Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, and Rivers states.

The South South produces the highest revenue for the country, with oil accounting for over 75% of Nigeria’s revenue. The schools in the South-South are known to be specialists in training students for relevance in the petroleum sector, but does their money reflect in their ranking? The list is waiting. Remember, the sequence of zones we are listing is:

1. North West
2. North Central
3. North East
4. South West
5. South South
6. South East
