Ekiti Private Schools Protest Against 1000 Naira Levy by Nnabugwu8590: 8:20am On Mar 15, 2016 |
The Ekiti State government came out with a 1,000 Naira education development levy to be paid by each pupil in private primary and secondary schools. The move was considered to be multiple taxation by the private school owners and it subsequently led them to staging the protest. The basic no-strike posture of private primary and secondary school was jettisoned with the total shut down of private schools in the state. During the protest, the proprietors insisted that it is against every norm and another burden on the already heavy taxes from the state government. Speaking on behalf of the school owners, President of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools in Ekiti State, Saka Adeleye, said that it is either total removal of the due or total shutdown of schools. Reacting to the claim, the Ekiti State Commissioner for Information, Lanre Ogunsuyi, admitted that the government indeed issued the levy but asked for understanding from the proprietors. www.channelstv.com/2016/03/14/ekiti-private-schools-protest-against-1000-naira-levy/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter |

So, with all the noise Fayose makes all over the place, he's got no other ideas on how to generate revenue than tax pupils. These kids will now bear the brunt of his Stomach Infrastructure agenda. Shame! Where's the apostle of 'Commonsense' when you need him? |
