Tuition changes? You'll see it first.
When NG universities update their fees pre-admission cycle (typically May-Aug), we update this table and the weekly digest flags what moved.
Notes on the numbers
- Figures are per session (= academic year) for Nigerian indigene students.
- Federal university ranges include tuition + acceptance fee + accommodation. Pure tuition can be as low as ₦16K (UNILAG).
- State universities have a lower rate for indigenes of the state.
- Private universities' ranges span the cheapest programme (typically Arts) and the priciest (Medicine + Surgery, Engineering, Law).
- Always verify the current cycle on the school's official site before remitting fees.
