NDU management has officially released the breakdown of school fees payable by all undergraduate students for the 2025/2026 academic session, covering general levies, faculty bench fees, and tuition where applicable.
The good news? The fees for the session differ based on Indigines and non indigines. Bayelsa indigenes enjoy free tuition, while non Bayelsa students are required to pay a tuition fee. Regardless of this, NDU is still one of the more affordable state universities in Nigeria's South South region.
