AFIT school fees 2026/2027: what is included
“School fees” at a Nigerian polytechnic is a bundle, not one number. The headline figure typically includes tuition or academic charges, registration, examination, library and ICT levies, medical/clinic, sports, identity card, student union and departmental dues. New students additionally pay a one-off acceptance fee, plus matriculation, medical screening and (where applicable) hostel accommodation.

Frequently asked questions
How much is AFIT school fees for 2026/2027?
AFIT has not published a detailed public fee table for 2026/2027. As a planning guide, federal polytechnics charge roughly ₦40,000–₦120,000 per session for ND, state polytechnics ₦50,000–₦180,000, and private polytechnics more.

Do returning students pay the same as fresh students at AFIT?
No. Returning students do not pay the acceptance fee or one-off charges like matriculation and medical screening, so their total is usually noticeably lower.
Can I pay AFIT school fees in instalments?
Many Nigerian institutions allow two instalments, usually with a deadline before examinations. Check the payment page on the AFIT portal; instalment rules are set by the school’s management each session.
What happens if I pay AFIT school fees late?
Late payment usually attracts a penalty and can block course registration or exam eligibility. Pay before the deadline announced on the portal.
Where do I check the official AFIT fee schedule?
On the AFIT portal after admission acceptance, or on the official website (afit.edu.ng). Avoid paying based on figures from social media.
