Osun State Poly Iree School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule
Osun State Poly Iree School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “Iree Poly”? Located in the town of Iree in Boripe Local Government Area, Osun State Polytechnic is a heavyweight in the Nigerian polytechnic sector. It is one of the most populous and vibrant campuses in the South-West, known for its strong Daily Part-Time (DPT) program and its recent affiliation with the University of Ilorin for degree courses. However, if you are looking for the “old cheap fees” of ₦40,000, you need to update your budget. In recent sessions, OSPOLY (like other Osun state-owned schools) implemented a significant fee adjustment. The good news? They also introduced a very flexible installment payment plan to make it manageable.
This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for Regular and DPT students, the “Installment” structure, and the correct portal to use.
