The School fees of the School of Nursing Obangede, like every other tertiary institution in Nigeria, are paid annually, that is, per session.

As a student or aspirant wishing to study at the school, it is beneficial to know the school’s fees, as this will help you make payment preparations when the time comes.
Being a government-owned school, the school fees are not as costly as those of other private institutions in the state.
