FUTMINNA School Fees for Civil Engineering 2026/2027 — what new and returning Civil Engineering students at the Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUTMINNA), should budget for this session. Updated September 2026.
FUTMINNA School Fees 2026/2027: Faculty of Engineering
FUTMINNA sets fees by faculty rather than by individual course, and Engineering sits above the university’s general range given its lab and workshop requirements. For 2026/2027, Faculty of Engineering students — which includes Civil Engineering — should budget roughly ₦80,000–₦120,000 for a fresher session. Treat this as a planning estimate and confirm your exact invoice on the FUTMINNA ePortal, since FUTMINNA doesn’t publish a Civil-Engineering-specific line separate from the wider Engineering faculty rate.
| Item | Estimated Amount (₦) | Notes |

| Acceptance fee | 20,000 | One-time, new admits only, all schools (Nigerian & international) |

What’s Included
FUTMINNA’s fee bundles tuition, registration, examination, laboratory, development, medical, library, and ICT charges into one invoice. Civil Engineering students specifically should also budget for:
- Specialized laboratory and workshop equipment access
- Field training charges — Students’ Work Experience Programme (SWEP) or major site visits can add a modest per-session charge
- Drawing materials, protective equipment, and any required software licences
How to Pay FUTMINNA School Fees
- Log in to the FUTMINNA ePortal at futminna.edu.ng.
- Select “Pay School Fee” and choose Remita or another approved channel.
- Generate your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) and complete payment.
- Confirm the payment reflects on your dashboard before registering courses.
FUTMINNA does not offer installment payment — tuition fees are paid in one full instalment per session, not spread across the term. New students pay the acceptance fee first (see our Acceptance Fee guide).
Accommodation
Most Engineering freshers are based at the Gidan Kwano (GK) main campus, several kilometres outside Minna town. Hostel accommodation there runs roughly ₦40,000–₦155,000 per session depending on room type, and is paid separately from school fees. Students living off-campus should plan for the daily “GK Shuttle” commute if working or studying near town.
Late Payment Consequences
FUTMINNA charges extra fees for late payment and may restrict course registration or exam access if fees remain unpaid past the deadline. Pay as early as possible.
