Before resuming school, it’s good to have an idea of how much FUTO school fees cost for the 2025/2026 academic session. Knowing this on time will help you plan well and avoid last-minute stress when school activities kick off.
I have always said that FUTO is one of the best technology universities in Nigeria. The good thing is that their tuition is still quite affordable compared to what you’ll find in some other federal universities offering similar programs. The school fees are not the same for everyone; it depends on your department and level. So, in this post, I’ll guide you through what freshers, returning students, and final-year students are expected to pay based on the last session’s payment structure.
FUTO School Fees for 100 Level (Freshers) 2025/2026
Let’s stay, for example, you just gained admission into FUTO — here’s what you should expect to pay as a fresher, using the previous session’s breakdown:

FUTO School Fees for Final Year Students
For final-year students, there are usually small adjustments to cover project supervision and graduation charges. Based on the last record, here’s how much it was:
