Nigeria University is so cheap, after we want to have the same quality of education with Western world

my last session in Atbu I paid N15500 so get ur fact right op

University of benin is still 13,000 per year

Of what relevance is universities with low tuition fees when a gazillion graduates roam the streets in search of jobs?

all this ones are costly, futa max payment is 18,900, for 300l, 500l is about 13,500

op didn't carry out findings before posting the prices...

Almost all schools on this list is far cheaper than these prices (returning students)

Federal universities only
Education is not cheap here but subsidised.
Unfortunately, govt officials feed fat on the money set aside for education.

NOUN will tell you their school fee is #41,000, but until when you then start with them you'll know they lied,







I'm talking from experience, I wouldn't advice anybody to school in NOUN if you don't have a job, because they drink money like water there.
