Ogun State Institute of Technology, Igbesa, widely known by its acronym OGITECH, is a state-owned polytechnic located along Oba Adesola Market Road in Igbesa, Ogun State. Formerly known as Gateway Polytechnic Igbesa before being renamed and restructured, the institution runs National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes across six academic schools. This article covers the full list of courses offered at OGITECH and what students should expect to pay in school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session.
About Ogun State Institute of Technology, Igbesa
OGITECH was established in 2006 and has since grown into one of the more ICT-focused state polytechnics in South West Nigeria. It is accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and offers programmes through full-time, part-time, weekend part-time, and Open, Distance, Flexible, and e-Learning (ODFeL) modes. This range of study modes makes OGITECH one of the more flexible state polytechnics for candidates who need to combine work or other commitments with their studies. As a state government institution, tuition remains relatively low compared to private polytechnics, though non-indigenes of Ogun State pay a higher rate than indigenes, a structure common across most state-owned tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Not every course runs at both ND and HND level; some, like Civil Engineering Technology and Welding and Fabrication Technology, are currently offered only at ND level, so applicants should confirm the exact level available for their course of interest before applying.
OGITECH School Fees for 2026/2027
Fees at OGITECH follow a structure based on level of study (ND or HND), year (fresher or returning), and residency status (indigene or non-indigene of Ogun State). The table below summarizes the general fee pattern for the 2026/2027 session.
| Fee Category | Amount (₦) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ND I (Freshers) | 65,000 – 85,000 | Higher end typically applies to non-indigenes and technology-based courses |
| ND II (Returning) | 60,000 – 70,000 | Lower than ND I since one-time charges no longer apply |
| HND I (Freshers) | 70,000 – 90,000 | Slightly higher than ND due to increased practical/project requirements |
| HND II (Returning) | 60,000 – 75,000 | Lower than HND I |
| Acceptance Fee | 25,000 – 30,000 | One-time charge for newly admitted students |
| SUG, Departmental, and Faculty Fees | 6,000 | Paid alongside tuition by all students |
| Post-UTME/Screening Form | 2,000 | Paid at the application stage before admission |
Fees are generally payable in installments, with a common split of 60 percent in the first semester and the remaining 40 percent in the second semester of the session. Indigenes of Ogun State pay toward the lower end of each bracket, while non-indigenes pay toward the higher end, with the difference typically amounting to a few thousand naira per level rather than a drastic gap.
Do All Courses Cost the Same at OGITECH?
Largely, yes, with modest variation. OGITECH applies a fee structure that stays close across most departments at the same level and mode of study. However, technology and science-based programmes — including Computer Engineering Technology, Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Science Laboratory Technology, and the newer ICT-focused HND courses like Cyber Security and Networking and Cloud Computing — tend to sit toward the higher end of the published fee bracket because of laboratory, workshop, and practical-related charges. Business, management, and communication-based courses such as Business Administration, Accountancy, Mass Communication, and Public Administration generally fall closer to the lower end of the range since they involve less equipment-dependent practical training.
What the School Fees Cover
Tuition paid at OGITECH covers a bundle of academic and administrative services delivered across the session, including:
- Course registration and academic levies
- Examination processing and result computation
- Library access
- ICT infrastructure and portal access, including the Cisco Networking Academy resources the school runs for its computing-related programmes
- Laboratory, workshop, and practical charges for technical and science-based courses
- General administrative and student support services
Charges outside this core tuition figure — such as the acceptance fee, hostel accommodation, and the post-UTME screening form — are billed and paid separately from tuition.
Additional Charges to Budget For
Beyond the tuition figure listed above, new students at OGITECH should plan for a few extra costs during the admission process:
- Acceptance Fee — a one-time charge of roughly ₦25,000 to ₦30,000, paid after receiving an admission offer to confirm the student’s place.
- Post-UTME/Screening Form — approximately ₦2,000, paid at the application stage before an admission decision is made.
- SUG, Departmental, and Faculty Fees — a combined charge of about ₦6,000, paid by all students alongside tuition each session.
- Hostel Accommodation — optional, and only applicable to students who secure a place in school-managed hostel facilities rather than living off-campus.
- Departmental/Practical Levies — additional charges that apply mainly to technical and laboratory-based courses to cover consumables and equipment use.
How to Pay OGITECH School Fees
Fee payment at Ogun State Institute of Technology follows the standard online process used across most Nigerian polytechnics:

- Generate a payment invoice or Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) for the specific fee due — acceptance fee, tuition, or hostel fee.
- Complete payment through the linked bank channel, USSD, or online card payment option.
- Confirm that the payment reflects correctly on the portal and print or download the e-receipt.
- Proceed with course registration and clearance using the confirmed payment evidence.
Students are advised to make payments only through the school’s official portal and designated channels, and to complete payment ahead of registration deadlines to avoid late charges or delays in accessing examination halls.
