Niger Delta University Increases School Fees by ₦7,000 for Fresh Students
Niger Delta University (NDU) has announced a ₦7,000 fee increase for newly admitted students in the 2025/2026 academic session.
New Fee Structure
Fresh Nursing Science students now pay a total of ₦158,000, up from ₦151,000 in the previous session. This covers:
- Acceptance fees
- Development levy
- Medical examination
- Library levy
- ICT levy
- Other charges
Reason for the Increase
The university management attributed the fee adjustment to rising costs in general maintenance, equipment upkeep, and student services across the institution.
Who Is Affected
- Fresh Students: The new fee structure applies to all first-year students admitted for 2025/2026
- Returning Students: Continue with their previously approved fee amounts
What Fresh Students Should Do
- Budget for the updated fee amount
- Complete fee payment through the university portal
- Keep payment receipts for registration
While the increase may concern some students given current economic conditions, the ₦7,000 adjustment is relatively modest compared to fee hikes at some other Nigerian universities.
