WEBOMETRICS TOP NIGERIAN SCHOOLS (S/EAST)

 Nigerian Federal Schools Rankings (South East)

The final list is here! We have gone through Webometrics’ ranking for Nigerian federal schools and listed the top 5 schools across each geopolitical zone in the country and we end with the South East. States in the South West are Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo states.

The South East, home to the Igbo people, is believed to be the most industrious zone in the country. It is also the zone that produced the first president of Nigeria, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. The region has been in significant civil unrest lately, recording incessant attacks by unidentified gunmen, and government-proscribed terrorist groups. It is still home to some of the more prestigious schools in Nigeria. Let’s see how they fare. Remember, the sequence of zones we have listed is:

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

Having said that, let’s look at the Top 5 ranked South East schools
