UNILAG Reduces Faculty and Departmental Dues for 2025/2026 Session; The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has officially announced a reduction in both faculty and departmental dues for the 2025/2026 academic session. This decision follows extensive deliberations and negotiations between the university management and the Council of Faculty Presidents-Elect (2025/2026).
Updated Fees for Professional Faculties
According to the notice, returning students in the following faculties will now pay a consolidated standalone fee of ₦15,000, reduced from the previous ₦25,000:
- Faculty of Law
- Faculty of Pharmacy
- Faculty of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS)
- Faculty of Dentistry
Freshmen in these professional faculties will pay ₦20,000.
Updated Fees for Other Faculties and Departments
For all other faculties and departments:
- Faculty dues have been reduced from ₦15,000 to ₦7,500 for returning students
- Departmental dues have been adjusted from ₦10,000 to ₦8,500 for returning students
- Freshmen will pay ₦15,000 for faculty dues and ₦10,000 for departmental dues
Important Reminder to Students
The notice clearly emphasizes that no additional fees should be collected at faculty or departmental offices aside from the approved student association dues. This directive comes directly from the university management to prevent unauthorized charges.
Hostel Application Update
UNILAG also announced that hostel accommodation applications will open soon. The delay in rollout has been attributed to technical issues affecting course registration and fee payments on the student portal. Students experiencing challenges are advised to contact the university through the official email addresses provided.
Physical Screening for Newly Admitted Students
Physical screening for all newly admitted students will begin on Monday, November 18, 2025. The university noted that a comprehensive screening schedule will be released before the end of the week.
All freshmen are encouraged to start preparing and gathering the required documents ahead of the screening exercise.
Signed
Council of Faculty Presidents-Elect (2025/2026)
