How to Pay LASUSTECH School Fees Step-by-Step
Okay, you’ve got the figures. Now we should speak about the actual payment – as this is where some students get confused and either pay the wrong sum of money or, even worse, become a victim of fraudulent accounts of payment that are distributed on WhatsApp and Telegram chat rooms.
And here is how to do it right:
Step 1: Go to the Official Portal of LASUSTECH.
Access the LASUSTECH student portal. Do not use links that are posted in group chats by strangers. You may enter the URL directly or you can search it within the proven official website of the school.
Step 2: Login using your student number and password.
Your dashboard will be accessed using your matriculation number and password. You might be required to use either your JAMB registration number or the details in your admission letter in case you are a freshman who has just made the first log in.
Step 3: Generate Your Invoice
This is the most critical step. Always generate your invoice on the portal before making any payment. Your invoice will show the exact amount due for your department and level, not a round figure from a blog post (including this one!). The invoice is your official bill.
Step 4: Pay via Remita
LASUSTECH uses the Remita payment platform, Nigeria’s government-integrated payment gateway. You can pay via bank transfer, card, or walk into any bank with your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) number. Do not pay into any personal bank account, no matter who tells you to.
Step 5: Keep Your Receipt
Once payment goes through, download and print your receipt. You will need this for student registration, hostel allocation, and exam clearance. Losing this document is a headache nobody wants during exam period.
Step 6: Complete Your Registration on the Portal
After payment, return to the portal to complete your course registration. Some departments require physical registration as well, check with your departmental office.
Step 7: Don’t Wait Until the Deadline
This one’s free advice born out of experience watching students scramble at the last minute: pay early. Late payments can restrict your portal access, lock you out of exam registration, or just add unnecessary stress to an already busy period.
