A Nigerian man has expressed utter shock and disbelief after discovering that a secondary school located in Lagos charges an astronomical tuition fee of ₦8 million per term, which amounts to a staggering ₦24 million annually. In addition to the tuition fees, the school reportedly requires an application fee of ₦2 million, further adding to the financial burden on parents and guardians.
He shared his reaction and disbelief in a video posted on his social media pages, including popular platforms like X and TikTok, where it quickly gained traction and sparked widespread discussion among viewers.
In the video, the man can be seen visibly stunned as he recounts how he came across the school’s website and was completely taken aback by the exorbitant fees displayed. The school in question is a secondary institution, and aside from the already high tuition, it also charges an additional ₦7 million for boarding students, which only adds to the total expense.
He explains, “I’m looking at this secondary school. Their school fees is ₦24 million a year. If you’re a boarding student, that’s an additional ₦7 million. And if you want to apply, application fee is ₦2 million.” His shock is palpable as he processes the immense cost that many would find difficult to afford.
