Bauchi State University Gadau (BASUG) keeps things refreshingly simple – no hidden charges, no drama, just straightforward fees that let you focus on what matters: your studies. If you’re wondering about BASUG school fees for 2025/2026, the good news is they’ve stayed pretty stable from last year, making it one of the more wallet-friendly state schools in the North.

We’re talking ₦26,000 – ₦52,000 for new students and ₦21,000 – ₦42,000 for returning ones, depending on your course and whether you’re an indigene or not. This update’s fresh off the bursary portal (as of November 2025), so you can trust it’s accurate – no more digging through dusty PDFs or WhatsApp forwards.

BASUG, tucked away in Gadau with campuses in Misau and Aliyu Mustapha, has been around since 2011 and specializes in practical programs like agriculture, sciences, and education. With over 10,000 students and a 90% NUC accreditation rate, it’s the kind of place where your ₦30,000 fee gets you actual labs and lecturers who show up. Fees cover tuition, registration, and basics like library access, but extras like hostel or medicals add up quick. Late payers? Expect a ₦2,000–₦5,000 slap.

Fee Breakdown for 2025/2026: No Surprises

New Students (100 Level)

• Indigenes: ₦26,000–₦42,000 (e.g., ₦30,000 for Education/Agriculture, ₦42,000 for Sciences/Engineering)
  
• Non-Indigenes: ₦32,000–₦52,000, plus a one-off acceptance fee of ₦2,500 (indigenes) or ₦5,000 (non-indigenes).

Hot courses like Computer Science or Nursing nudge toward the higher end due to lab fees, but nothing crazy compared to UNIBEN’s ₦100,000

Returning Students (200 Level and Up)

• Indigenes: ₦21,000–₦35,000 per session.
• Non-Indigenes: ₦26,000–₦42,000.

Postgrad fees (M.Sc./PhD) start at ₦50,000–₦70,000 per year, with part-time around ₦40,000.

The Extras That Sneak Up on You

Budget for these, they’re not optional:

• Hostel: ₦15,000–₦25,000 (shared rooms; Misau campus fills fast).
• Medical/Insurance: ₦2,000–₦4,000.
• JAMB Regularization (if needed): ₦5,000–₦10,000.
• ID/Library: ₦1,000–₦2,000.

For a fresh indigene in Arts: Total first year around ₦50,000–₦60,000. Non-indigene: ₦60,000–₦70,000. Living in Bauchi? Add ₦80,000–₦120,000 for food and transport per session—cheaper than Lagos, thankfully.
