The management of Kogi State University (KSU), now officially known as Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU) following a 2020 renaming by the Kogi State House of Assembly, has not published a fresh fee schedule for the 2026/2027 Academic Session as of this writing.
Newly admitted and returning students are advised to pay up all the fees required by the school before the registration deadline on the portal.
KSU is Now Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU)
If you’ve been searching for “KSU school fees,” note that the institution’s legal name changed in 2020 to Prince Abubakar Audu University, in honour of the late former Kogi State governor.
The campus in Anyigba, the student body, and the fee structure carried over under the new name. Students and portals still commonly refer to it as KSU, so we’re keeping that in this guide, but official documents from the school will show PAAU.
If you pay your school fees after your registration deadline, it may not be considered valid, and you could go through extra filing processes to sort it out. The penalty for defaulting is a loss of studentship for the 2026/2027 Academic Session.
How Much is KSU/PAAU School Fees?
PAAU hasn’t released an official, confirmed fee schedule for 2026/2027 on its own portal yet. The most recent verifiable breakdown, from the prior session, is below as a reference point.
Totals for 2026/2027 are likely to be close to these, since Nigerian state universities rarely move fees by more than a modest margin year to year, but treat this as background, not a current figure.

Searching for Prince Abubakar Audu Fees Under the Old KSU Name
The renaming is the first practical hurdle. A student looking for official documents under Kogi State University will miss them, because anything the bursary issues now carries Prince Abubakar Audu University on the letterhead.
What the prior session’s tables show is a sharp indigene divide. A fresher from Kogi State paid ₦57,500 while a non-indigene paid ₦100,000, and the gap stayed close to that for returning students at ₦46,500 against ₦89,000.
Moving from fresher to returning status saved exactly ₦11,000 in both columns. Foreign students sat on a different basis altogether, pegged at 1,500 US dollars for the session rather than a Naira figure.
None of this is confirmed for 2026/2027. Take the acceptance fee from your admission letter, confirm the hostel rate on the portal since it changes most often, and treat the tables here as a planning guide only.
We’ll update this page with confirmed 2026/2027 figures as soon as PAAU publishes them.
