Students making payments at the National Open University of Nigeria’s Wuse II Study Centre in Abuja can now pay by card or electronic transfer. The centre has stopped collecting cash, its director, Professor Ebele Angela Udeoji, said in a university report published on 3 November 2026.
Udeoji said the centre had introduced point-of-sale (POS) terminals to reduce the risks staff faced when collecting and transporting cash. Electronic records also make it easier for the centre to match payments to its accounts. She warned staff against overcharging students or demanding unauthorised payments and said she would refer misconduct to university management.
What this means for students. If you are visiting Wuse II to pay for a service, plan to use a card or transfer. The announcement changes how the centre collects money. It gives no new fee schedule or bank account details and does not announce a change to how students pay university tuition.
Before authorising a payment, ask what the charge covers, confirm the amount and check the recipient shown on the terminal or banking app. Keep the receipt or transaction reference. If your account is debited but the centre cannot confirm payment, ask staff to check that reference before making a second payment.
If someone forwards account details in a student group and asks you to transfer money under the new policy, verify the request directly with the centre first. NOUN’s official study-centre directory? lists Wuse2studycentre@noun.edu.ng for Wuse II (FC09). Students at other centres should check their own centre’s instructions.
