Awka Parents Shut Down Catholic School Over 43% Fee Hike

Parents at Aquinas Model Nursery and Primary School in Awka boycotted the third term resumption after the school’s new manager imposed a 43 percent fee increase without consultation. Classrooms sat empty as guardians accused the manager of sidelining the PTA and issuing fee notices via pupils. They called the hike “unfair” and demanded the priest in charge be removed. The school warned parents that anyone protesting or inciting unrest could face sanctions, including pupil expulsions. Aggrieved families have appealed to the Awka Diocese bishop to intervene and avert a full shutdown.
