The Proprietress of a private nursery and primary school situated at abule egba in lagos, nigeria declined to speak with our correspondent who visited her school for an interview.
The Woman who does not want her identity and that of her school to be made public explained that the reason for her action is because of the government agencies which may pounce on her school to start to make demand both legitimate and illegal fees. She said publicity is good for them to showcase their works but for the various government agencies at both state and local government levels who may be unscrupulous.
She told our correspondent that she just concluded an issue with one of the agencies which demanded fines from them. she stated that it took God's intervention to get over it. The proprietress further lamented that the government is not encouraging private schools in the state because of sundry fees and charges they demand from them. she complained of how she lost the former name of her school which was duly registered but according to the agency in charge was not renewed. And that the new name which the school now bears was recently registered and that she was told to make a yearly renewal of the registered name at a government-determined rate.
According to her, 'experiences like these would make schools remain silent about their affairs'.
