  • Online transfer

  • Mobile banking

  • USSD payment

  • POS transaction

If you use any unapproved method, your payment may not be recorded.

Why FULOKOJA Uses Bank Teller Only

This system is not meant to stress students. It is mainly for proper record keeping.

With a bank teller payment:

  • You get a physical receipt

  • The bursary can verify your payment easily

  • Fake payments are reduced

  • Allocation becomes fair

This helps the school manage limited hostel spaces properly.

Clearance Before Hostel Payment

You are not expected to rush to the bank immediately.

First, you must complete clearance using the following steps:

  • Visit the Dean of Students’ Office

  • Complete hostel clearance

  • Collect official account details

  • Get approval to pay

Any payment made without clearance may not be recognised.

How to Apply for FULOKOJA Hostel Accommodation

Once you are cleared, follow these steps carefully.

Step 1: Log in to https://ug.fulokoja.edu.ng/new/ using your JAMB number and school fees RRR to access your dashboard.

Step 2: Look for “Hostel Accommodation” or “Accommodation Application” on the portal.

Step 3: Choose your preferred hostel and room type.

Step 4: Generate Invoice. An RRR will be created, and your space will be reserved temporarily.

Note: You have only 48 hours to pay.

Step 5: Go to the bank and pay using the generated RRR through a bank teller.

Step 6: Download and print your payment evidence.

Step 7: Submit for Verification: Take the original teller to the Dean of Students’ Office for confirmation.

After verification, your room allocation will be processed.

Verification and Room Allocation Process

After payment, do not relax yet. You still need to complete verification.

The process includes:

  • Submitting your bank teller

  • Payment confirmation

  • Entry into hostel database

  • Room assignment

  • Collection of the allocation slip

Only students who complete this stage will receive bed spaces.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If you have just checked your admission list and you are planning your registration, try to apply for a hostel space early.

Once hostel slots are filled, you may have to look for private accommodation outside campus, which is usually more expensive.

Many students lose hostel spaces because of simple errors.

Try to avoid the following:

  • Paying before clearance

  • Using online transfer

  • Delaying payment

  • Losing your receipt

  • Ignoring portal updates
