Al Hikmah university is an Islamic private university located in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital. As a private institution, the university does not get financial grants from the federal government so students have to pay their tuition fees in full. Federal universities in Nigeria are subsidiesed by the government which is why their fees is somewhat affordable to most Nigerians.
However, Al-Hikmah University has structured its tuition fees in up to three instalments to ease the payment for students – the first instalment will be paid before the start of the academic session, the second instalment will be paid latest before the start of first semester exams while the last instalment is expected before the start of second-semester lectures. Al-Hikmah school fees are not uniform across all programs and levels, the tuition fee you pay will depend on your course of study and the level you are at. Here is the breakdown;
