One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a secondary school, university, polytechnic or other institution in Nigeria is cost. You sure don’t want to end up in an institution where you’ll have issues paying the schools fees down the line. So, the age-long “cut your coat according to the size of your cloth” advice applies perfectly here.

It’s quite understandable that private institutions are generally for the rich, and the government-owned ones are for the not-so-financially buoyant people. However, there are still huge differences in prices among private institutions as well as government-owned ones. This explains why you need to know exactly how much each university or polytechnic in Nigeria charges as registration fees and tuition fees for undergraduate and postgraduate students.


With the above in mind, we’decided to put up this resource, which is a compilation of details regarding the current schools fees charged by academic institutions in Nigeria. The details are updated from time to time to reflect the most current information.
