PS: this list is of opinion of it's writer based on finding and comprehensive research and does not in anyway guarantee perfection. The reader or general public can only be given 88% assurance of its authenticity.

One thing I must state clearly is that this post only takes cognizance of what the fees were at the time of writing. If there are already changes before you see this post, you should understand. These fees are subject to changes. It is important to note that the tuition fees for new students have acceptance fees already included, as well as other miscellaneous expenses. By the time they get to 200 level (UTME Candidates) and 300 level (Direct Entry Candidates), these so-called freshers will then begin to pay the fee for returning students.

This development was achieved because of its stable and unbeatable academic stability and fast calender. I was so surprised on the completion of our research that the University of Ilorin is the cheapest University in Nigeria. Not only cheapest federal university but generally the cheapest University in Nigeria at this time.
