Sitting the TOEFL in Nigeria.
What the TOEFL iBT is
The TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is the English proficiency test most Nigerian students take to study abroad. Run by ETS, it is accepted by thousands of universities across the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia, plus many scholarship boards and immigration authorities.
The four-section TOEFL format
Every TOEFL iBT covers four parts, Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing, each scored from 0 to 30 for a total out of 120. The current test has been shortened and now runs in under two hours, fully on a computer, with Speaking recorded into a microphone and both essays typed.
TOEFL centres and dates in Nigeria
The TOEFL is sat in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, with extra sittings in Owerri, Asaba, Enugu and Jos, and registration open from all 36 states and the FCT. There are 25+ TOEFL dates across 2026, roughly every two weeks, so you can match the test to your application deadline.
TOEFL fees in Nigeria
The standard TOEFL iBT fee in Nigeria runs about $220, roughly ₦340,000, and ETS charges more for late or rescheduled bookings. Registering through Mafit brings the cost well below the standard fee and, unlike a direct booking, bundles your classes, mock exams and study materials at no extra cost.
TOEFL or IELTS?
Both the TOEFL and IELTS are widely accepted and neither is easier overall. The TOEFL is fully computer-based with Speaking recorded into a microphone, which suits candidates used to typing and North American English, while IELTS Speaking is a face-to-face interview. Our counsellors help you pick the right one.
