Fukashere (2025/2026 Session) Acceptance Fee And School Fees

Welcome, future FUKashere students—and maybe their parents peeking over their shoulders—to the blog post you didn’t know you needed but definitely can’t afford to ignore. You’ve just landed admission into the Federal University, Kashere, and your heart is racing, your mum is already calling your aunties, and your dad is suddenly calculating how many cows need to be sold.

Calm down. Before you rush to buy a new “school box” or post “admitted” on WhatsApp status with victory songs, let’s talk about the two things that can make or mar your academic journey—the acceptance fee and school fees.

This isn’t just a list of numbers. No, my friend. This is the complete breakdown—told like a gist from someone who’s walked the campus barefoot (figuratively, of course). So, sit tight. Let’s begin with the first financial rite of passage.

The Acceptance Fee: AKA “FUKashere, Take My Money and Accept Me”

If admission was a wedding, the acceptance fee is your bride price. It's your way of telling FUKashere, “I see you. I choose you. I want to spend the next four years (or more, depending on ASUU) with you.”

Now, before you scream, “How much is it?!”—breathe.

FUKashere’s acceptance fee is a modest ₦3,000. Yes, you heard right. Just three thousand naira. No typo. It’s one of the lowest in the country.

Now, before you jump for joy and call the school “the most generous university in Nigeria,” remember this is just the beginning. You haven’t entered the main payment yet.

But still, ₦3,000 is quite the bargain for gaining access to a federal university. Many schools are charging triple or even quadruple for the same piece of paper. So yes, you’re off to a good start.

Pro tip: Once you receive your admission notification, don’t delay. Pay that fee immediately through the school’s portal. The earlier you do it, the faster you get your clearance, and the sooner you can avoid last-minute drama.

Now Let’s Talk About the Real Boss: The School Fees

Here’s where things start to get interesting.

After paying your acceptance fee, you’ll be required to pay the actual school fee. And if you’re a fresher, you might want to sit down for this. The school fees differ depending on whether you’re coming in through UTME or Direct Entry (DE). Also, returning students have a lighter bill.

Let’s break it down like we’re in your parents’ sitting room on a Sunday afternoon.

For Freshers: Your First Academic Budget

If you’re a UTME candidate—meaning this is your very first year stepping into university life—your total school fee is ₦36,000. That’s not too shabby. Some private secondary schools charge more for a term.

If you’re a Direct Entry student, your total is ₦41,000. The extra ₦5,000 covers document verification, and yes, you can’t dodge it.

Here’s how the money gets sliced up:

Notice how everything is accounted for? No sneaky hidden charges lurking in small print. It's neat, simple, and straightforward—just how life should be.

For Returning Students: A Little Less Burden

You’ve survived your first year, eaten enough Indomie to last a lifetime, and now you’re back. Welcome to lighter bills.

Returning students pay ₦27,000. That’s right. The school understands that you’ve paid your dues (literally and metaphorically), so no need to burden you again.

The breakdown is leaner, and that’s because you’re no longer paying for ID cards or orientation. You already know how to find your lecture hall and how to bribe the printer guy to open early.

What About Hostel Accommodation?

FUKashere doesn’t just want to teach you—they want you to have a bed to sleep on too.

Hostel fee? ₦20,000 per session. That’s it.

You get the basics—bunk bed, mattress (depending on luck), a fan if you’re blessed, and a community of fellow students navigating life together. It’s like Big Brother, but with exams and mosquitoes.

Is it compulsory? No. If you’d rather stay off-campus with your cousin who has a flat in town or share a room with friends, that’s perfectly fine. But if you like structure, security, and a walking distance to your lecture theatre, ₦20,000 is quite reasonable.

Other Fees You Should Be Aware Of

Now, let’s be honest—school fees are never the full story. Here are some “hidden costs” no one tells you about but which always pop up like unsolicited SMS from your mobile network.

1. Departmental and Faculty Fees – Sometimes, you’ll be asked to pay something small in your department. It’s not always official, but don’t be surprised when you hear whispers like “Departmental dues is ₦2,500 o!”

2. Photocopies and Passport Photos – It seems small, but by the time you’re done printing receipts, forms, clearances, and submitting documents here and there, you’ve spent ₦1,500 without blinking.

3. Textbooks and Handouts – Not all courses require you to buy textbooks, but some lecturers will insist you buy theirs “to pass.” Budget for this.

4. Alumni Dues (Final Year Students) – You might be asked to pay ₦5,000 for alumni registration in your final year. Just a heads-up.

The Payment Process: No Confusion, Please

Let me walk you through how to pay like a pro.

1. Visit the FUKashere student portal (usually via their official website).

2. Log in using your registration number or JAMB number.

3. Generate your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR).

4. Take that RRR to any commercial bank OR pay online using your debit card.

5. Print your payment slip. In fact, print three copies. One for your clearance file, one for your parents (to prove you didn’t spend it on shawarma), and one as backup.

What Happens If You Don’t Pay on Time?

Ah. Now we’re getting to the part where fear should enter body.

• If you delay acceptance fee payment, FUKashere might offer your spot to someone else. Don’t give them a reason.

• If you delay your tuition fees, you might not be allowed to register courses, print your exam slip, or even attend classes officially.

• The school doesn’t play with its calendar. You shouldn’t either.

Is It All Worth It?

Now you may be asking: with all these payments, is FUKashere even worth it?

Short answer: Yes. 100%.

You’re getting a federal university education at one of the most affordable rates in the country. The environment is serene, the academic staff are experienced, and the system is structured.

Yes, you might have to deal with power outages or the occasional “this course wasn’t uploaded” issue. But compared to the heavy fees in private universities or the instability in some state-owned ones, FUKashere offers you a very solid deal.

Conclusion

School life is not beans, but it’s doable—especially when you plan ahead. The key is knowing what to expect and when to expect it. That’s what I’ve done for you with this post. Whether you’re a UTME freshie, a Direct Entry boss, or a returning student with legacies to protect, the information here is your pocket’s best friend.

So now, go and prepare. Pay your acceptance fee, settle your school fees, and take your first confident step into the future.

Don’t forget to keep your receipts safe, ask questions when confused, and most importantly—enjoy the journey.
