University of Lagos - UNILAG Speciality : Civil & Structural Engineering
programme: Quantity Surveying

The educational system in Nigeria leaves much to be desired. My experience at The University of Lagos has been suboptimal at best. Never-ending strikes, outdated curricula, and a persistent lack of adequate teaching facilities have contributed to this. Although it is ranked as one of the best institutions of higher learning in the country, the teaching methods employed by the lecturers still have a long way to go. Students are not carried along during the classes and at the end of it all, they are given lengthy textbooks to read in preparation for examinations. It is exhausting and very detrimental to the mental health of the students. I do hope that improvements can be made in this regard especially as UNILAG turned 60 this year.

Being a prominent university in Nigeria, the University of Lagos is nested in the mainland area of Lagos city, it provides education in all major fields.
Despite its age, the university is obviously well managed and maintained. The environment is adorned with sculptures, sitting areas, parks, lush lawns, flowers and building machines as more structures are being erected.
The university has a waterfront and the view is beautiful, a good sight of the famous longest bridge in West Africa, the Third Mainland Bridge (TMB). There is a park around the grounds of the waterfront with comfortable seats. It is unusual to find this place empty especially when school is in session.
The university is highly recommended for study and visit.
