Current School fees of American University of Nigeria

The American University of Nigeria is one of the best when talking about tertiary institutions. Many people know about the school, but only a few have the right information about the school, especially the school fees.

Education, they say, is the best legacy. The best you can give a child after-home training as a parent or guardian is quality education. In Nigeria, the education system is retarding due to poor management, fund siphoning, and other factors which is more familiar with government-owned schools.

However, the private sector is trying to revive it by establishing private schools. Presently, private schools compete favorably with public schools at the elementary and secondary stages and even at the tertiary level.

Before now, private universities were seen as option B for students who could not seek admission into public universities, but that notion is now out of it with the number of standard private universities we have in Nigeria today.

We have the likes of the American University of Nigeria, Covenant University, Babcock University, and Fountain University, among others. Although these private universities are well known, most people perceive them as too expensive due to their little knowledge about their fees.
