The Jeremiah and Felicia Aderoju Foundation (JFA) has expressed concern over the Lagos State government’s decision to raise public school boarding fees from N35,000 to N100,000 per term, stating that the timing is inappropriate.
JFA’s Director, Mr. Jacob Akintola, warned that without assistance, many students could be driven toward negative paths such as fraud or delinquency.
Speaking at a one-day workshop on technical training and skill acquisition in Lagos, Akintola emphasized the importance of supplementing formal education with vocational skills, urging affluent individuals to contribute to initiatives that support students in need.
JFA remains committed to addressing societal deficits by providing essential resources and encouraging technical skills training for students, ensuring a brighter future for Nigerian youth.
