The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has earned a coveted spot among Nigeria’s top 10 universities in the 2025 Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings—marking a major milestone in its journey toward academic and global relevance.
Released on June 18, 2025, the global rankings evaluated over 2,500 universities across 130 countries, including 36 from Nigeria. FUNAAB distinguished itself through its commitment to advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), earning national and global recognition for its impact.
How FUNAAB Stood Out
FUNAAB placed 7th overall in Nigeria, a reflection of its consistent growth and commitment to meaningful societal development.
The university also recorded impressive individual rankings across several SDGs:
- 2nd in Nigeria for SDG 4 – Quality Education
- 3rd for SDG 2 – Zero Hunger
- 4th for SDG 13 – Climate Action
- 6th for SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals
These achievements highlight FUNAAB’s dedication to addressing global challenges—whether it’s promoting quality education, combating hunger, responding to climate change, or building global partnerships.
Leadership Reacts
Vice-Chancellor Professor Babatunde Kehinde credited the achievement to the dedication and teamwork of the entire university community. He applauded the contributions of students, academic staff, and non-academic personnel, urging them to “keep pushing the boundaries of excellence.”
“Our ranking is proof that when we work together toward a common goal, we can make a global impact,” he said.
Why It Matters
For prospective students, especially those preparing for JAMB, FUNAAB’s latest recognition signals more than just prestige—it’s a promise of quality education backed by real-world impact. With its growing reputation, FUNAAB continues to position itself as a leading choice for students who want more than just a degree—they want to make a difference.
