Khadija University School Fees 2026/2027 Academic Session: The Complete Fee Schedule

Khadija University School Fees 2026/2027 Academic Session: Are you planning to attend Khadija University, Majia (KUM)? Located in Majia town, Taura Local Government Area of Jigawa State, this university has been in the news recently—and for very good reasons. Important Update (The “Takeover” Effect): If you are searching for Khadija University fees because you think it is an expensive private university, here is the news that might save you millions: In late 2024, the Jigawa State Government approved the acquisition of Khadija University to become a State Public University. What does this mean for your pocket in 2026/2027? It means while the fees listed below reflect the university’s recent private structure (which you should budget for as a “worst-case scenario”), the transition to a state-owned institution could see these fees drop significantly to align with other state universities like Sule Lamido University. This guide details the projected fee schedule (based on the current private structure) to help you budget safely, while keeping an eye on the government subsidy.
