Re: No Prof

Unfortunately Gen. Gowon, your understanding of this issue is limited. If you want equity what will you say to those whose kids are not in SHS and yet paying their taxes? Before you talk, understand the issues first

This is truly unfair, Prof.Good point Prof. Government should only be ar the cost of the school fees. Boarding and feeding fees should be borne by the parents. This would in a way save the government' pocket. Period!
