wrong
School fees alone in some fed school is 200k!

The research for some science field going above 2m!

Still not comparable to $40,000 (approximately 25M Naira) in the USA and about 25,000 Pounds Sterling (approximately 20 Naira) in UK.

It’s an expensive thing to venture in honestly

Research work is not something you rush and also you pay school fees year in year out whether you achieved something that year or not; coupled with the strike.

Started mine since 2015; done with my coursework but the project I was stucked with it; Infact I never went back to Idiaraba again.

Even if I decide to go back; all those years I was absent; I will pay the school fees for those years.

Honestly now; am having a re think and looking for a better opportunity.

seunsamtol4ny4lif,Gamer999,. However, IgiveLadiesBj, and samtol4 gave a contrary opinion which is valid. Unless you do your PhD in a private university, the probability of finishing on time is slime. Our public universities are full with disgruntled lecturers

Let me take ur highest figure, 400k

That will not pay your acceptance fee and first session school fees

Research work on the other hand will eat above 2 million if you're in the Sciences.

My brother, no do pass urself by planning with 400k

For the entirety of the duration, both fees, research and miscellaneous, budget 4 million Naira.

Thank you Op for this question, I've been searching for the answer as well. I heard its between 250k - 400k in Federal and State Universities.

Bros....I will be honest with you, if u can't do it in private university in Nigeria, then go abroad & do it.

Do not make the mistake of starting a PHd in a public university here. ASUU will go to strike almost every year, ur supervisor might even find it hard to check ur work, they will just be procrastinating for months something dat can be done in weeks.

I repeat do not do that, unless of course u are one of thier staffs, then the waste of time won't really matter as u won't be paying school fees.

Also, some public universities don't care, u will pay school fees every year, even if u weren't able to achieve anything for dat session even if it ain't ur fault
I did mine from Jan 2018-Jan 2020. That's why most universities have centers where strike doesn't apply to them. Although its expensive. Spent 1.3 Million on fees and another 1 million on research, then 80k on final defense fee.

Let me put it this way.

In fees i thought i will be paying 600k (200k per session for 3 year - Mphil to Phd)
It turned out I paid 150k as tuition for each semester of the Mphil (300k) - I was driving to Ibadan and staying in hotels at every trip (my choice though but i have not factored this cost in). So in 2 years i paid the 600k already
I recently got converted to proceed with my Phd, having passed all my courseworks (at about 70% per course) and the fees has now become 600k plus for session. I just paid.

Now the cost of research has also not been factored in. I travel, i have a research assistant, i say a lot of 'thank you' and all.

My rough estimate is that I might sink about N2m to get this sorted. You may do less or more depending on your choice school.

I hope this helps.

Nigeria needs research students to analyse the country problem, we can't continue to depend on the UN or NGOs to provide answers to why for example there is black rain in River state this is the responsibility of research in universities.

Never pay for a Ph.D.

In countries like the USA, Canada, etc, you do your degree with a full tuition waiver, in return, you work as a teaching assistant or research assistant where you get paid a monthly stipend, enough to cater for your wellbeing and that of a loved one.

You receive the best of education with a chance of getting PR or even citizenship after school.

When you compare the above with the dilapidated state of our education in +234, the "god" behaviour of Professors/lectures alike, ASUU strike, non-availability of research grants, PHCH wahala, etc, you will agree with me that it's plain, undiluted, and crass idiocy to pay for a PhD in +234

If you can, do it overseas, you will be better for it.

Thank you!
It is an abomination in my family to even pay for masters abroad sef, not to speak of PhD and then in Nigeria for that matter. If beta GRE score or supervisor too hard you to get, just manage get partial funding, then come over and find TA or RA to complete the program...Otherwise, remove our surname from your name forever and ever.

I second your thoughts. Ordinary BSC sef, for a 5yr course, you spend 10yrs studying, 2 yes getting result, 1 yr for clearance and probably another 6 months for notification of result and collecting your certificate.

I would have advice you make some research about cheaps school in Europe. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia etc. In which you will be pay some stipend, After your program you can navigate to other country of your choice. less than 4million as a self sponsorship you'r good to go.

No. Buhari does not have a Master's degree. His defenders are saying he has an equivalent.
