I have been following updates from Federal Polytechnic Oko closely, and a recent fee notice shared by the Students’ Union Government (SUG) caught my attention because many prospective and returning students are already trying to work out how much they will need for the new academic session.
The notice lists the fees payable by ND I, HND I and returning ND II/HND II students, including tuition, acceptance fee, general service charges, departmental fees and SUG dues.
However, there is an important point I want students to understand before relying on any fee figure published online: the notice shown in the image is from the Students’ Union Government of Federal Polytechnic Oko, not a fee circular issued directly by the Polytechnic management. Students should therefore confirm their actual bills through the official school portal or the appropriate school office before making payment.

Federal Polytechnic Oko School Fees 2026/2027
According to the fee notice, the amount payable depends on whether you are a new ND student, a new HND student or a returning student.
| Student Category | Science-Based | Non-Science-Based |
|---|---|---|
| ND I | ₦146,600 | ₦139,600 |
| HND I | ₦152,600 | ₦147,600 |
| Returning ND II/HND II | ₦65,100 | ₦65,100 |
The totals above are based on the individual charges listed in the SUG notice.
Federal Polytechnic Oko ND I School Fees
New National Diploma students are listed as paying the following:
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-UTME | ₦2,000 |
| Acceptance Fee | ₦30,000 |
| Tuition Fee – Science-Based | ₦74,000 |
| Tuition Fee – Non-Science-Based | ₦67,000 |
| General Service Fee | ₦13,900 |
| School Directorate & Department Fee | ₦24,700 |
| SUG | ₦2,000 |
Total for ND I Science Students
₦146,600
Total for ND I Non-Science Students
₦139,600
The difference comes from the tuition charge, with science-based programmes listed at ₦74,000 compared with ₦67,000 for non-science-based programmes.
Federal Polytechnic Oko HND I School Fees
The notice also provides a separate breakdown for students entering the Higher National Diploma programme.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| HND Form | ₦15,000 |
| Acceptance Fee | ₦30,000 |
| Tuition Fee – Science-Based | ₦67,000 |
| Tuition Fee – Non-Science-Based | ₦62,000 |
| General Service Fee | ₦13,900 |
| School Directorate & Department Fee | ₦24,700 |
| SUG | ₦2,000 |
Total for HND I Science Students
₦152,600
Total for HND I Non-Science Students
₦147,600
The HND I total is higher than the ND I total partly because the notice includes a ₦15,000 HND form charge.
Federal Polytechnic Oko Returning Students’ Fees
Students returning for ND II or HND II have a much lower bill because they are not paying some of the charges applicable to newly admitted students.
The notice lists the following:
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tuition – School, Medical & Examination Fees | ₦41,400 |
| School Directorate & Department Fee | ₦21,700 |
| SUG | ₦2,000 |
| Total | ₦65,100 |
Therefore, the total amount shown for returning ND II and HND II students is ₦65,100.
Unlike ND I and HND I, the notice does not give separate science and non-science totals for returning students.
What Is Included in the Federal Polytechnic Oko Fees?
Based on the SUG notice, the listed charges cover different aspects of a student's academic and administrative obligations.
For new ND students, these include:
- Post-UTME fee
- Acceptance fee
- Tuition
- General service fee
- School Directorate and Department fee
- SUG dues
For HND I students, the notice adds the HND form fee to the applicable charges.
Returning ND II and HND II students have a simplified bill consisting of tuition, medical and examination fees, school directorate and departmental fees, and SUG dues.
Important Notice About These Federal Polytechnic Oko Fees
This is where I want prospective students to be particularly careful.
The figures in this article are based on the fee notice shown in the supplied image, headed by the Students’ Union Government of Federal Polytechnic Oko.
It should therefore not be treated as an independent confirmation that every amount is the Polytechnic management's final approved fee for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Before paying anything, students should confirm:
- The current fee schedule with the Polytechnic.
- The exact amount appearing on their student or prospective-student portal.
- The official payment account or payment channel.
- Whether any of the listed charges have been revised.
- Whether additional programme-specific charges apply.
I am stressing this because I would rather give a student a careful answer than publish a figure simply because it is circulating on WhatsApp or Facebook.
How Much Should a New Federal Polytechnic Oko Student Budget?
If you are preparing for admission, do not budget only for the tuition figure.
A new student may have other expenses such as:
- Acceptance fee
- Tuition
- Departmental charges
- Medical or examination charges where applicable
- Accommodation
- Feeding
- Transportation
- Textbooks and course materials
- Clearance expenses
- Other approved institutional charges
The amount you eventually spend will therefore depend on your programme and personal needs.
Federal Polytechnic Oko School Fees for Science Students
According to the SUG notice, science-based students pay a higher tuition amount than non-science students at ND I and HND I level.
For ND I:
Science-based tuition: ₦74,000
Non-science-based tuition: ₦67,000
For HND I:
Science-based tuition: ₦67,000
Non-science-based tuition: ₦62,000
This means prospective students should not assume that every department at Federal Polytechnic Oko has exactly the same tuition charge.
Federal Polytechnic Oko Acceptance Fee
The notice lists the acceptance fee for both ND I and HND I students as:
₦30,000
However, candidates should confirm the amount displayed on their official admission/payment portal before making payment.
Acceptance fee payments should be made through the Polytechnic's approved payment channel. Students should also keep their payment receipts and other evidence of payment.
My Advice to Federal Polytechnic Oko Students
As a former student of Federal Polytechnic Oko, I understand why students are eager to know the exact amount they need to prepare before resumption.
My advice is simple: do not pay based solely on a screenshot shared on social media.
Use notices like this as a guide, but confirm your personal bill through the institution's official channels before making payment.
This is particularly important for newly admitted students because their bills can contain charges that are different from those of returning students.
If you have already received admission, check your admission status, complete your acceptance process and carefully review the payment instructions provided by the Polytechnic.
