There are a lot of rankings. Asking what rank is Nigeria in the world is like asking how many fish are in the ocean. However, there are some notable rankings Nigeria is known for and the rankings provide a clue about the country’s development.
Country rankings can influence national and international partnerships and investments. This ties in with the positive branding that manifests from rankings, but for countries with an advantageous rank, it will improve the willingness of others to partner with them or support their growth.
Rankings generate competition as they appeal to our notion of who’s on top, who’s below. The results of global rankings can stimulate national debate and focused analysis of key factors that may determine regional, or institutional successes in rankings.
