Nigeria’s minister of education, Adamu Adamu
The report stated that hitherto filled classrooms have
become considerably sparse, as parents and guardians
had decided to move their children to more public
schools which are generally affordable.
Private schools in Nigeria charge exorbitant prices, but
the economic hardship witnessed across the country
have made the fees to get out of the reach of the
common man.
The report quoted various private schools management
in Abuja complaining of significant reductions in their
student body.
A school proprietor who spoke on the condition of
anonymity, described the development as worrisome,
even as he advised the federal government to design an
aid package to enable Nigerians improve their
living standards.
