Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, has released its approved school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, with Nigerian students billed ₦2,509,945 for Nursing Science and ₦1,900,005 for Physiology.
The university’s fee schedule also lists separate charges for international students and foreign students of African descent. International students will pay $9,500 for Nursing Science and $8,500 for Physiology, while students of African descent with foreign nationality will pay $4,250 and $3,500, respectively.
The published fees cover a range of charges, including tuition, examinations, accommodation, sports, laboratory access, college dues, medical registration, field trips, ICT facilities, identity cards, practicals, utilities and matriculation.
The figures have prompted discussion about the cost of private university education in Nigeria, with some observers arguing that the fees are relatively affordable when assessed across the full academic session.
They point to the inclusion of accommodation and other campus services, as well as the absence of separate charges for books and compulsory handouts, as factors to consider when comparing the cost with other options.
The comparison also raises the question of how private university fees measure up against the uncertainty and disruption associated with strikes in public universities.
Covenant University operates a residential model, with students required to live on campus. Its 2026/2027 fee schedule provides separate rates for national, international and African-descent foreign students.
