How Much Are FPN School Fees
The official school fee schedule changes from session to session. The last available published schedule (for 2021/2022) gives us a rough idea, For example:
ND Morning programmes have fees that vary across schools.
ND Evening / Weekend / HND programmes also have different rates.
From that schedule: ND 1 (morning) — around ₦54,000 (depending on school)ND 2 — lower in some departments. HND and other programmes have higher fees.
Important: these are outdated figures, so don’t rely on them. Always check FPN’s current fee sheet on their official website.
Also, note that additional charges often apply: registration, laboratory, library, development fees, medical, matriculation, insurance, etc. There has been talk of upward review of school fees at Nekede.
How To Check Your Admission Status Using SMS
As of now, I could not locate a public, verified SMS-based admission status system specifically for FPN. The official route remains using the online portal (ndapplication.fpno.edu.ng) to check your admission status by application number or name.
If FPN introduces an SMS-service, they would typically publish it in their admission notices or on their website. Always check official communications for such updates.
