UNIZIK Reinstates Tuition Waiver for Staff in Postgraduate Programmes

Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) has approved the return of tuition waivers for its staff enrolled in postgraduate programmes. This decision came out of the university’s 234th Senate meeting, held on Wednesday, 28 May 2025. The policy takes effect from the 2024/2025 academic session.

What It Means for Staff

Staff members who have gained admission into a postgraduate programme at UNIZIK can apply for the tuition waiver. But it comes with a few conditions.

To qualify, applicants must attach two key documents:

1. Admission letter from the university
2. Formal approval to undertake the postgraduate programme

The waiver only covers tuition during the minimum duration of the course. So if the programme normally runs for two years, the rebate applies for just those two years.

If you’re a staff member planning to benefit, you’ll need to send in your application along with the required documents. The university expects all applications to follow the previously approved rules.

The university made it clear that this support applies only during the standard timeframe for the programme. Once that time runs out, so does the waiver.
