The truth is any private institution with the aim of making profits surely would be more expensive than a government owned one because government subsidies its own but the private gets the whole money needed to run it from the students, the fees are exorbitant quite right but... besides everybody screaming these schools are owned by churches should calm down not all of them are, and the ones that claim they're better than private uni breeds, REALLY?! Don't, don't think so. With the way admissions are handled in this country, my opinion is if you can afford it why not

naijaclinic:
Fed govt try for subsidizing University education. See me doing medicine and paying 13k as fees per year. Wtf

Wow! I am grateful to God for the cheap Fed university education I got. I can bet the total money spent all through my stay in medical school was not up to N1m(books and feeding inclusive). Yet I am better than many of their best in d real world. Baba God I thank you ooooo!

Also be greatfull to the FG now that you've realised that government actually did something for you.

They're all crappy "universities" none of them is recognized abroad because of the illiterate "graduates" they chunk out each year.

Yes

Wah Dept?

yes O°˚° my brother, I have never failed to acknolgedge the Govt for their contribution. I know it was more of a personal effort but at least they gave me a platform.

Unfortunately, many graduates of government universities when asked say and reiterate over and over again that government has done nothing for them. They don't know how good they had it

Yeah you are correct but that is the job of government. They are elected to provide services for the citizenry. Subsidizing cost of education is one of them.

ihedioramma:
is it for the years you will school there or what? let me understand?.

The fees are per session. Not for all the years spent

Go and tell that to the american or british governments that it is their job to provide subsidised education to their citizens. In the west, tertiary education is for those who can afford it and those lucky enough to get one form of scholarship or another

People, let me make a contribution here. First I graduated from a federal government owned university (first generation) but then I think the standard of tuition and scholarship was higher than it is now -less 'sorting' of lecturers etc. There are still good public universities but I must tell you that some of these private universities are coming of age. For instance I don’t worship at Living Faith (Winners) but from the industry where I work (recruitment is very competitive), Covenant University is making a very strong showing. In fact, in the last 2-3 years, they have been displacing the likes of UI, FUTO in recruitment for the management sciences, arts, and social sciences. One of our recruiters was so shocked at the trend that he had to remark "there must be something they are doing there". I have colleagues whose children are there and I have interacted personally with a few of their graduates in the workplace -they hold their heads high and deliver! Now, I say all these not to advertise the school but to say, not all these private schools may be called "glorified secondary schools" anymore. I've heard good words about Babcock and even Afe Babalola (Law Faculty) and Landmark etc. I agree that the fees are relatively high of course but they have to pay their bills (staff salary etc) if they can build on the standards, it will help reduce capital flight abroad and even to nearby Ghana. Of course, they will be graduates from these schools that also don’t measure up. I am only cautioning us not to be too dismissive, things are changing in the real world -recruiters put you in problem solving and critical thinking situations during interviews and those who are mentored to "think out of the box" typically come up tops. If you can’t afford these private schools, by all means even if you are in an uknown university where strikes are frequent or what may be called a "mushroom" school, please develop yourself; read hard and wide... you can still make it. It takes more than having a certificate or the name of your school or how high or low your school fees is. God bless you.

dont be angry, is it the money to pay befor you enter or school fees?. like how much can some one keep for all the year?. per session is it one level?

The West is not the only standard of education in the world. Research on other continents even other European universities

Different schools with their fees breakdown. Most on the list is for school fees per session. Monies for forms or acceptance fees or accommodation are paid separately. Per session is same as one level

Just note that covenant University fee is upwards of 600k
