FCT, Abuja – Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani said the Charterhouse School in the Lekki area of Lagos charging N42 million per pupil annually is not the problem.
The newly established British independent educational institution charges two million naira as an application fee for interested parents who want to enrol their children (year one to year six) in primary school.

Nigerians react as Charhouse School charges N42m annually
@simpleiykejnr
I wonder if the students start getting paid from heaven as soon as they graduate.
Every president around the world narrates their stories of how their parents couldn’t afford three square meals or a pair of sandals.
These type of networking is not connecting at all…
@i_jandor
42million for school? Na which kind of school be that abeg? Na Wetin them dey teach? Even the UK never charge such an amount of money from her citizens. Nawa for some greedy Nigerians…
@stardudefire
Someone will pay 42m for school in Nigeria
EFCC is supposed to go after any parent that enrols their kids in that school.
@etochris067
Exactly!
I don’t think anyone who gets money legitimately and decently can afford such a school.
Anyways, such schools have targeted markets.
@iagharanya
Most of those are money stolen from the public treasury. To be honest, any Nigerian whose child is that school ought to be probed.
@Kckingson
If the school has no people registering their children in that school, they wouldn’t have charged such amount.
The people are always the problem.
Why Charterhouse School is charging N42m annually
Legit.ng earlier reported that a media consultant to Charterhouse, who spoke on condition of anonymity said the school has produced five prime ministers, and top politicians in the United Kingdom.
The consultant said Charterhouse Lagos is charging N42m because they are building the same structure they have in the UK.
He explained that more Nigerians are attending Charterhouse UK, hence, the reason to bring it to Nigeria for other African elites from South Africa, Ghana, and others to send their children.
