Why it matters

Wigwe University has officially opened its doors to students from around the world, aiming to attract both national and international learners. However, the tuition fees for this prestigious institution are substantial, reflecting its commitment to providing a top-tier education. This is an investment in education that comes with a significant price tag.

Academic programs

The school offers outstanding academic programs across four major colleges: the College of Management and Social Sciences, the College of Art, the College of Science and Computing, and the College of Engineering. These programs are designed to meet international standards and foster a global perspective among students.

According to the university’s website, all programs are delivered in collaboration with key international partners. This approach ensures access to world-leading curricula, joint research opportunities, and international exchanges and internships. Wigwe University aims to shape Africa’s future as a leader in global education by combining home-based and foreign faculty members to foster creativity, instill a sense of purpose, and inspire a new generation of well-rounded, fearless leaders.

Remarkable leadership

Before the passing on of the late Herbert Wigwe, Prof. Miles Davis from the United States was appointed as the pioneer Vice-Chancellor of Wigwe University. Prof. Davis holds a Doctorate in Human and Organizational Sciences from The George Washington University, USA.

Wigwe’s Vision

In a message found on the university’s website, Wigwe expressed his vision: “I cannot change the world overnight. But if I can empower even one youth today, tomorrow, they could join me in empowering others. With time, we could change the world.”

But at what price?

The university is projected to be the most expensive in Africa, with tuition fees approaching 12 million naira, popularising the saying, “better soup na money kill am!”

The College of Arts offers the most affordable program at ₦9,600,000. Students enrolled in the College of Engineering, College of Management and Social Sciences, and College of Science and Computing will each pay a total fee of ₦11,998,800. These fees cover tuition, books, laboratory supplies and consumables, personal protective equipment, project lab resources, e-learning resources, and health insurance.

Bottom Line

Wigwe University, with its innovative approach to higher education and strong commitment to research, community engagement, and academic excellence, is poised to make a significant impact on the educational landscape in Africa and beyond.
