## What's happening Following the federal-government policy on subsidy removal and the consequent macroeconomic pressures, university councils across the federal system are revising tuition, accommodation, and service-charge structures. The pace and amount varies by institution. ## Recent moves (selected) - **UNILAG**: tuition raised from ~₦19,000 to ₦100,000–₦150,000 for new courses. Acceptance fees adjusted. - **ABU**: charges revised to between ₦100,000–₦175,000 depending on programme. - **UI**: tuition under review; council communiqué expected. - **OAU**: increases approved by senate, capped pending student council consultations. - **UNIBEN**: revised charges effective current academic session. Always confirm directly with the institution's bursary department before paying. ## What this means for parents Use our [Education Cost Calculator](/tool/education-cost-calculator/) to project total cost over your child's full programme. The headline tuition figure is only part of the picture — accommodation, feeding, transport, books and miscellaneous add 2–3× more. ## State + private universities Most state universities have held tuition flat for the current session, though service charges have been adjusted. Private universities adjusted fees during the previous academic year and are largely stable. ## Tracker policy We verify fee changes against official bursary notices before publishing. Unverified social-media reports are flagged and excluded.
