The management of the Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko (NMU), has released its official schedule of students’ charges for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Newly admitted and returning students are advised to pay up all the fees required by the school before registration closes.
NMU School Fees and Registration Deadline
If you pay your school fees after the registration deadline posted on your portal, it may not be considered valid, and you could go through extra filing processes to get it sorted.
The penalty for defaulting is a loss of studentship for the 2026/2027 Academic Session.
Also, note that a lost session forms part of the total duration allowed for the programme.
A student with a genuine reason to apply for Temporary Withdrawal from studies for the session must follow due process before the end of the first semester.
How Much is NMU School Fees?
NMU released its “Schedule of Students’ Charges for 2026/2027 Session” directly on its official website, and fees have gone up considerably from the previous session, so don’t rely on older figures you may have seen elsewhere.
The NMU school fees are the same across the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Environmental Management (including Marine Geology), Faculty of Science, and Faculty of Transport, except for a small variation at 300 and above:
| Level | Engineering / Environmental Management | Science / Transport / Marine Geology |

| 400 Level | ₦168,200.00 | ₦188,200.00 |
| 500 Level | ₦188,200.00 | N/A |
The charges above are inclusive totals, not add-ons. Separately, NMU requires these fixed charges from every student:
- NHIS: ₦10,000.00 (paid into the university’s Remita account)
- Medical Screening: ₦20,000.00
- Students’ Welfare Insurance Scheme: ₦5,000.00
- Students’ uniforms and life vests are billed separately through the Consultancy Unit, not through Remita.
