Wolex Polytechnic School Fees 2026/2027: The Complete Fee Schedule

Wolex Polytechnic School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “Wolex Poly”? This is one of the pioneer private polytechnics in Nigeria, but it is also one of the most misunderstood when it comes to Location and Fees.

Important Clarification: The “Two Wolex” Confusion

Before you pay a dime, you must understand where you are going.

• The Main Campus (Accredited): Located at Km 2, Iwo-Ejigbo Road, Iwara, Iwo, Osun State. This is the campus approved by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for full academic sessions.

• The Lagos Axis: You may hear of a campus at Iyana Ipaja, Lagos. Historically, this was the administrative start-point, but for full-time accredited academic work (ND/HND), the Iwo Campus is the recognized ground.

• Warning: Be careful of “satellite centers” claiming to be Wolex in Lagos. Always verify your admission status with the main campus in Iwo.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for ND and HND students, the acceptance fee, and the reality of living in Iwo.
