It may interest you that the University of Lagos tuition fee is cheaper when compared to other state and private universities in Lagos. This is because it’s a Federal university, and the government reduced the amount to be affordable.

How much is Unilag Acceptance Fee?
University of Lagos acceptance fee is 20,000 naira only. This is something most admitted students can afford.
Until you pay this fee, your admission is not secured and can be canceled by the university.
How much is the UNILAG hostel fee?
Considering the accommodation cost in Lagos, I would say the hostel fee is very cheap.
UNILAG hostel fee is 25,500 naira per academic session.
However, it doesn’t come easy. You need to apply for rooms. If you get lucky enough, you might get one.
Living in the school hostel might be considered a good decision, but it has some disadvantages.
As you applied for the hostel room in your 100 Level, you will do the same every other session. You might not get your former room.
Each room is overpopulated, and you won’t have any privacy. You are susceptible to any disease your roommates may be carrying.
The hostel toilets and environment is nothing to write home about. Be careful not to contact any disease.
Accommodation off campus is costly. If you are not financially capable, apply for the school hostel.

Returning students should already know how to pay their school fees online.

How much is UNILAG school fees for part-time?
The tuition fee for part-time students is more than that of full-time students. The minimum is 70k naira, and the highest is 230k naira.
It varies depending on the course you want to study. Part-time postgraduate courses can go up to 450k naira per session.
Conclusion
UNILAG may be among Nigeria’s cheapest federal universities, but remember how competitive it is to gain admission there.
If you are going for highly competitive courses like medicine and surgery, be prepared to face the best of the best.
Even Olabisi Onabanjo University’s tuition fee is more than that of the University of Lagos.
