Federal University of Health Sciences Azare (FUHSA) in Bauchi State is one of those schools that sneaks up on you—specialized in health and sciences, with a focus on practical training that actually prepares you for the real world. If you’re wondering about FUHSA school fees for 2025/2026, the bursary office just dropped the official schedule, and it’s holding steady from last year. We’re looking at ₦300,000 to ₦450,000 for most undergrad programs, depending on your course and level. This update’s straight from the university portal (as of December 2025), so no more chasing rumors on WhatsApp groups. Whether you’re a fresh JAMB face or a returning student, here’s the clear picture to help you budget without the headache.
FUHSA, established in 2021 as Nigeria’s first health-focused federal uni, keeps fees reasonable for a federal school—cheaper than UI or UNILAG in some spots, but expect the premium for lab-heavy courses. No wild increases this session, which is a relief amid inflation. Fees cover tuition, registration, library, and basic medicals, but add-ons like hostel or acceptance fees bump things up. Late payers? A ₦5,000–₦10,000 penalty awaits, so don’t sleep on it.
