Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE) in Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, has a reputation for being straightforward and focused—perfect if you’re aiming for a career in teaching or related fields without the hassle of sky-high fees. For the 2025/2026 academic session, IAUE’s school fees are staying pretty much the same as last year: between ₦37,500 and ₦49,500 for both new and returning students, depending on your course and whether you’re an indigene or not. This update comes straight from the university’s bursary office and student portals, so no guessing games here. If you’re a JAMB fresher or coming back for another round, let’s break it down so you can budget without the stress.

IAUE, which started as a college in 1971 and went full uni status in 2016, keeps things affordable to make education accessible in Rivers State. No massive hikes this session, which is a win amid rising costs everywhere else. The fees cover tuition, registration, and basic stuff like library access, but remember to factor in extras like hostel or medical fees. Late payments? There will be penalties, so aim to sort it early.
