Hello nairalanders, I want to know the cost of running a PhD degree program in Nigeria Federal and State Universities as I'm considering taking up this challenge but I need this information.

Those who are currently running this program and those who've completed theirs, your contributions is very much needed, mostly for UNILAG.
It depends on the department and project works you are doing.
Like in Medical Laboratory Science, you can spend 3-4m.

MOD kindly move to frontpage please to get more contributions.

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.
Why not try and give it all it takes to complete the research and have this inner peace that you finished what you started.,May God see you through

There's nothing wrong in what he did. Probably his intention, is to get advise for the most flexible. Moreover, everyone's identity here is private.

This is a good question for intending PhD students, let me State clearly based on experience in state University, taking an average of 4years considering strike, this depends on department

School fees. 1million
Text book 120k
Internet download 100k
Laptop 150k
Fueling/Tp 200k
Assignment/Thesis 600k
Seminar 300k
Defence 500k
Others 300k
Total N3,270,000

It will definitely be cheaper in federal school

So truly speaking, we still have this kind of zombie in this country who believe Buhari has no WAEC results. Kai, media propaganda has really dealt with some people's brain.

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.
Interesting

Meaning you must have graduated with a good result in your first degree to propel you for a full/partial funding

There is no point in a Nigerian doing a PhD because after u are done only universities recognize that and reward u with a paltry N 140,000 per month.
Re: Cost Of Having Phd Degree In Nigeria by eddie7: 11:31am On Oct 18, 2021
Lots of factors can determine how much this can be determined. These include and lot limited to
1. The institution
2. Country where institution is located
3. Supervisor(s)
4. Student's determination
5. School fees per school
6. Others

Lots of factors come into play. Sch fees alone in most sch in d southeast is 110k to 120k per session, multiplyd by d num of year u will spend, the earliest being 4years. Cost of research will also depend on ur research interest, ranging 4rm 600k and above. Keep like 60k for Schorlarly publications. Advantage being that u can commence d program with wteva little cash u hv and tk d program in ur stride. Disadvantage being disruption of academics wt strike., lack of quality lab for analysis. Lack of support 4rm govt thru grants.

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.
. If it's true with this amount,then I wouldn't argue again for being produce half baked PhD holders.

Why dont you consider doing your PhD outside Nigeria?
You realise there are many (silent) opportunities, right?
Re: Cost Of Having Phd Degree In Nigeria by Cousin9999: 12:00pm On Oct 18, 2021
It's definitely wise to consider studying abroad where you'll be paid to do it. Furthermore, there will probably be a good paying job waiting for you in UK/US/CA.

Let us know what you decide to do.

250k -450k for real? Not even enough to pay your school fees for a PhD program in the CHEAPEST Federal University. And school fees na the smallest and least wen u go pay for wen you Dey do your PhD program

Lamasta:

This is wrong especially if you're in the sciences the money you will spend on materials and analysis alone will topple this excluding the school fees self...

Even in the Arts, that money won’t go anywhere. Just one research work alone will gulp half of that money...and God help you if your school does course work. You will have to conduct research and publish same in a recognized journal in each course you are offering. Some schools or lecturers insist on impact factor journals and publishing in these internationally recognized journals, aside from being quality and rich, cost hundreds of dollars

NICE POINTS
calculator123:
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.

This does not factor in the costs of your bench work or research. If 'others' cover your house rent and feeding for the period. For example, someone very close to me needs between 3m-4m for his research alone in the life sciences.
