NDU Increases School Fees for Fresh Students

The management of the Niger Delta University (NDU) has announced an increment of ₦7,000 in school fees for newly admitted students for the 2025/2026 academic session.

According to a receipt issued from the Office of the Bursar, fresh students in the Department of Nursing Science are now required to pay a total of ₦158,000, covering acceptance fees, development levy, medical examination, library levy, ICT levy, and other institutional charges.

The latest adjustment represents a slight increase compared to the previous session, when new intakes paid ₦151,000. The increment has been attributed to rising costs of maintenance, equipment servicing, and essential student services within the university.

It was further stated that the new fee structure applies only to newly admitted students, while returning students are to continue with their previously approved charges.

Meanwhile, the development has sparked mixed reactions among students and parents—some expressing concern over the current economic situation, while others described the increment as modest compared to tuition adjustments recently introduced in other universities across the country.
