In a revealing special report, Premium Times Nigeria has shed light on the financial burden faced by Nigerian parents due to additional school charges beyond tuition fees. The investigation spanned across major cities such as Abuja, Lagos, Kaduna, Katsina, and Benue, where parents recounted unexpected costs for graduation ceremonies, textbooks, costumes, feeding, extra lessons, photographs, parties, and other activities. These extra charges, often hidden or unanticipated, have deepened the financial strain on many families, forcing them to make difficult choices to meet these additional expenses. This report comes as the Nigerian government grapples with improving access to quality education and reducing the financial burden on parents. The full report can be found on Premium Times Nigeria’s website.
