The University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) has not published a verified school fees circular for the 2026/2027 academic session on its own website. Newly admitted and returning students should confirm the current figure through the UNIMAID student portal before paying.
How Much Is UNIMAID School Fees?
UNIMAID is a federal university, so its tuition is a flat, subsidised amount rather than a faculty-by-faculty figure.
Several independent sources agree on the same previously reported rate, around ₦33,000 for fresh students and ₦18,000 for returning students across all faculties. We could not confirm it on UNIMAID’s own site for 2026/2027, so treat it as the last widely reported figure.

On top of tuition, UNIMAID freshers have historically paid a set of smaller ancillary charges. These cover the ID card, sports, IT levy, exam fee, matric gown, result verification, faculty journal, handbook, health insurance, faculty and departmental dues, endowment fund and library.
Most fall between ₦1,000 and ₦5,000 each, and science students add a laboratory fee of around ₦10,000.
Added together, these have previously pushed a fresher’s total toward ₦70,000 to ₦100,000 once accommodation is included. Confirm the current figure on the portal before budgeting against it.
How Much Is UNIMAID Acceptance Fee?
UNIMAID’s acceptance fee has previously been reported at ₦10,000. New intakes must pay this before they’re considered properly admitted, but confirm the exact amount on your admission letter first.
How Much Is UNIMAID Hostel Fee?
Students wanting campus accommodation should apply early. UNIMAID’s hostel fee has previously ranged between ₦10,000 and ₦15,000 per session, though you should confirm this with the accommodation office for the current session.
Where the Real Money Goes at University of Maiduguri
Tuition is the smallest part of this bill. At ₦33,000 for freshers it is dwarfed by the dozen ancillary charges, which together with accommodation have taken past totals to between ₦70,000 and ₦100,000.
Returning students gain twice over. Their tuition halves to ₦18,000 and most of the one-time charges, including the matric gown and result verification, fall away entirely.
The two surrounding figures are modest and stable. Acceptance has been reported at ₦10,000 and a hostel place between ₦10,000 and ₦15,000, among the lowest at any federal university.
None of this is confirmed for 2026/2027, so generate your own invoice on the UNIMAID portal. We will update this page once a clear circular appears on the university website.
