Imo Delta Anambra and Edo state are by far the most educationally inclined states in the country.

The statistics from JAMB speaks a lot!

I always had this wrong impression that south west states were leading the pack, but after seeing statistics upon statistics, I had to change my perceptions

this should answer your question to an extent

Female literacy is seen as the key to raising living standards for the next generation. For example, a newborn child is far likelier to survive if its mother is well-educated. In Nigeria we see a stark contrast between the mainly Muslim north and the Christian and animist south. In some northern states less than 5% of women can read and write, whereas in some Igbo areas more than 90% are literate.

Here are the Literacy rates from the bureau of statistics

http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/uploads/latestRelease/de4f17834ea0c57a9e1f440d029aebaa460863d0.pdf

In terms of literacy in any language Lagos scored the highest followed by zamfara, imo, Abia, rivers, akwa and the rest

Interms of literacy in Speaking english Lagos, Imo, rivers, abia are the highest.

Some LGAs in abia have 90+ literacy rates, impressive smiley

Note that this data was conducted on a survey, [not sure how they conducted it]

Re: Which State Is The Most Educated In Nigeria by GAR3TH(m): 9:21pm On Apr 29, 2012
What is Interesting is that the literacy rate for youths [15-24 years old] is much much higher than the adult literacy [15 and above]. In fact the youths were added to the adult category just so it can boost up the adult literacy. Just imagine how low the adult literacy will be if youths weren't added to it, shocking. Mind you that half of nigerians are below the age of 25.

jamb's stat can only support arguments for education up till secondary sch. level.
If we are to use Tertiary institution as our benchmark, i will give it to osun state based on my experience during NYSC. I noticed that osun state indigenes had highest level of participation. Though states like edo, delta, ogun & oyo had high number of grads too, osun state surprisingly topped the list. If we were to move higher to PHD/Proffesor level then i will give it to ekiti/ondo/part of osun. Overall i give it to ekiti and ondo people because of their high percentage of highly educated people in their overall population.

There is no way a State will be leading in University admission with a wide gap for 30 years and wouldn't be ahead of others.

You shack alomo this night? Same Osun i served? Are we to discredit waec and JAMB stats?
Re: Which State Is The Most Educated In Nigeria by jmaine: 11:01pm On Apr 29, 2012
If we are to adopt statistical parity in having a fair judgement . .wont it be necessary we factor in the population indices of each states to come to a balanced conclusion of which state has the most educated in Nigeria . . .

A reason why Lagos is the undisputed number one cos her level of educated inhabitants would comfortably give other states a 100% literacy rate . . . while a state like kano even though with a small education literacy indices would have fared better with a smaller population . . .

So let's try factoring the population indices of each states vis-a-vis their rating in arriving to an acceptable inference . . .

thus they are illiterate ?

C'mon remove the biased view from your post and ask how many graduates that state chun out every year plus quality compare to Nsuuka and Anambra.

Lets face the reality here, we are not english people thus every single pronuciation would not be exact but in terms of class, as far as African is concerned yes they are wayyyy better than Anambra etc

As for the Lagos bit, Ok then lets remove Lagos for fairness
