Federal University Lokoja (FULOKOJA) School Fees 2026/2027 | Full Breakdown

Estimated FULOKOJA School Fees for 2026/2027 Session

It is important to clarify that federal universities in Nigeria are technically “tuition-free.” The fees you pay are “School Charges” covering registration, library, sports, ICT, medicals, and municipal services.

1. New Students (Freshers – UTME & Direct Entry)

Freshers pay the highest fees due to one-time registration levies.

• Faculty of Science & Education: ~N122,500 – N130,000

• Faculty of Arts, Social & Management Sciences: ~N117,500 – N125,000

• College of Health Sciences (MBBS/Nursing): ~N180,000 – N200,000 (Estimate due to higher lab/professional levies).

• Reality Check: Although the official “School Charges” may appear lower in some circulars, when you factor in Departmental dues, Faculty dues, and other small fees, the total cost for a Science fresher typically ranges from N140,000 to N160,000.

2. Returning Students (200L – 500L)

Students who are returning for another year pay much less because they have already fulfilled their entry development levies.

• Faculty of Science & Education: ~N106,000

• Faculty of Arts, Social & Management Sciences: ~N101,000

Crucial Update: No More Installment Payments

Starting from the 2025/2026 Academic Session, the management of Federal University Lokoja will no longer allow payment of school fees in installments.

• What this means for you: You must pay 100% of your school fees before registering for courses at the beginning of the session. The previous policy that allowed a 60/40 split has been abolished due to high default rates.
