Why Choose Maranatha University?

Maranatha University’s fees (₦650,000–₦850,000) are competitive for a private university, offering value with a Christian ethos, modern facilities, and a focus on academic excellence.

The university’s strict payment policy—no cash, only direct bank transfers—ensures transparency but may inconvenience students without easy banking access. Compared to NTIC (₦6,100,000 for boarding), Maranatha is more affordable, though its fees exceed state universities.

Additional costs like medical (₦20,000) and accommodation (₦150,000) add up, straining budgets for families earning Nigeria’s minimum wage (₦30,000/month). The university’s Christian foundation aligns with its mission of affordability, but the lack of scholarships or installment options limits accessibility.
