The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has launched a newly upgraded online payment portal for all fresh 100-level students and newly admitted 200-level Direct Entry students for the 2025/2026 academic session. The purpose is to ensure that school charges are paid safely, correctly, and only through the official UNIBEN platform. EducationNGR also learnt that the university is maintaining strict control over payment channels to prevent errors or fraudulent transactions.
UNIBEN has confirmed that there is no increase in school charges for the 2025/2026 session. The same fee structure used in previous years remains unchanged, giving students, parents, and guardians confidence in planning their finances.
Approved UNIBEN Payment Portal for 2025/2026
The University emphasises that all school charge payments must be made strictly through the official portal. No agent, cybercafé operator, or external website is authorised to collect fees on behalf of UNIBEN. Payments made outside the approved portal may result in problems with student records or verification.
