How Payment Works
Visit the official portal at portal.ebsu.edu.ng.
Create an account (new students) or log in with your matric number (returning students).
Select “Get School Fee Invoice,” choose your session, semester, and payment type.
Generate your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR).
Pay via bank branch or online with an ATM/debit card.
Return to the portal and retrieve your official receipt using the RRR.
Key Notes
Returning students typically pay less than freshers, since one-time charges like acceptance fees and development levies fall away after 100 Level.
Non-indigenes consistently pay more than indigenes across every faculty — this is standard practice at most Nigerian state universities.
Professional courses (Medicine, Law, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science) carry substantially higher fees than other courses due to clinical/practical training costs.
Fee schedules are reviewed by university management and can change between sessions, so treat any figure not sourced directly from the portal as provisional.
