Federal Polytechnic Oko School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule

Federal Polytechnic Oko School Fees 2026/2027: Planning to resume at the “Polytechnic of the Moment”? Federal Polytechnic, Oko in Anambra State, is a popular choice for Southeast Nigeria students. As a federal institution, tuition is subsidized, but OKOPOLY has a confusing fee structure influenced by your School and Programme Type (Regular 1, Regular 2, or Weekend). If you’re not careful, you might budget for “Regular 1” only to be admitted into “Regular 2” (Afternoon/Evening), which adds a “Consultancy Fee.” This guide covers projected fees for the 2026/2027 session, including costs for ND and HND students, campus differences, and payment methods.
