The Ten Most Affordable Universities/Polytechnics in Nigeria

The question of tuition fees is almost as important as the courses offered in a tertiary institution. You want to be sure you can afford the fees of the university you are applying to before you pencil it in your JAMB form. This is a list of the most affordable Nigerian universities/polytechnics, based on their current tuition fees. Find out the most affordable Federal and State universities, and use the information in selecting the school you would study in

.One of the first things a prospective student wants to know about the school he has selected in his JAMB form, right after the courses offered, is the tuition fees, and in a time as this - where OAU students and LASU students are ‘occupying’ their states in protest over the recent hike in their fees - it stands to reason that students are paying more attention to the fees in the schools they have selected.

The first year of school is usually the most expensive year. Tuition fees, in most schools, are high in the first year, relatively lower in subsequent years and it increases a little bit (but not as much as in the first year) in final year. Students resuming school for the first time have to consider the cost of accommodation, apart from the cost of tuition. If you are cost-conscious, then you probably are looking for a good quality affordable university/polytechnic.

The NigeriaSchool website has a list of tuition fees for first year students applying to Nigerian universities and polytechnics.
