How Much Needed For UNIBEN Final Year Clearance
The total amount of money you need for Uniben Final Year clearance is not fixed. Apart from the standard amount that is fixed by the school, other unnecessary expenses do arise.
For example, after paying for Faculty and Department clearance form, you will need certain persons to sign for you. Each office you enter will demand a bribe usually between N200 and N1000. Even those in charge of hostel clearance will still expect you to lobby after paying for hostel clearance.
For the above reason, I have given a range of amount below. The lowest is the standard price while the highest amount is the max amount you will be charged irrespective of your Faculty and how much you pay for certain persons to sign for you.
- Department: ₦1,500 to ₦3,000
