dc.descriptionThe poor performance of Nigerian public Universities has been a concerned issue for educational stakeholders in Nigeria. As a giant of Africa, Nigeria public Universities are supposed to be placed among the best in Africa and in the world. Rather, it is unfortunate that Nigerian public Universities are placed behind other African countries. This paper examines the factors responsible for poor ranking of public Universities in Nigeria. Empirical studies from published and unpublished papers were used to provide empirical support for the paper. The paper employed content analysis method to select papers and journals used. Both online and print materials were used. The paper concludes that inadequate funding, weak teaching programme (poor learning environment); research programme (volume, income and reputation); citations (research influence); international outlook (staff, students and research); and industry income (knowledge transfer) are factors responsible for poor ranking of Nigerian public Universities. Based on the identified problems, the following have been suggested: adequate funding, ensuring quality teaching, quality research, quality paper publication in recognized journals, ensuring academic collaboration, employment of international lecturers, admission of international students, collaboration with private institutions to boost industry income and developing internationalization policy on higher education.en-US
