KolaDaisi University, Ibadan, has announced that it will maintain its current tuition fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, despite prevailing economic challenges. The decision applies specifically to returning students, who will continue with the existing tuition rates.
Here are the key things students and parents should know:
1. Tuition fees will remain unchanged for returning students
Returning students will not face an increase in their existing tuition rates for the 2026/2027 session.
2. The decision is aimed at reducing financial pressure
The university said maintaining the fees would provide greater financial stability and predictability for parents, guardians and students amid current economic realities.
3. KolaDaisi has a two-session fee review policy
The university said its policy is to review tuition fees for returning students only once every two academic sessions.
4. Flexible payment options are available
Parents and students can use the university’s online portal and available flexible payment options to meet their financial obligations.
5. Unchanged fees do not mean unchanged academic standards
The university said it would continue to maintain its standards in teaching, learning, research and character development while keeping the current fees.
6. The university describes its approach as student-centred
KolaDaisi said the decision reflects its focus on student welfare and its desire to keep quality education within reach of families during difficult economic periods.
7. What about the actual fee amount?
The university’s official website currently lists its tuition and fees page with the 2025/2026 fee schedules. The latest announcement confirms that returning students will retain their current rates for 2026/2027, but students should rely on the university’s official fee schedule for the exact amount applicable to their programme.
The university also reiterated that its goal is to balance affordability, academic quality and student welfare, ensuring that economic difficulties do not unnecessarily disrupt students’ education.
