The Delta State Ministry of Women Affairs has allegedly increased tuition fees for Government Day Care Schools across the state due to the increase in prices of commodities, Daily Post can exclusively report.

Our Correspondent who was at the Government Day Care in Warri gathered that the increment which will take effect from second term is based on the directive in a circular by the Ministry of Finance and made available to Heads of Government Day Care schools.


Proprietress of Government Day Care School in Warri, Mrs. Majemi refused to disclose her name, even as she declined comments on the matter when DAILY POST arrived at her office.

Mrs. Majemi, however, said she was not aware of the directive, directing our Correspondent to speak with her boss, Mrs. Julie Ereyefoju,
a Director in the Ministry of Women Affairs for comments on the matter.

The increment which will take effect from next term will have parents pay seven thousand five hundred naira (N7,000) as tuition fee as against the current five thousand naira(N5,000) in addition to a separate payment for uniforms, t- shirts, sports wears and books which will cost about twenty thousand naira (N20,000) as against the current fourteen thousand naira being paid.

The Director of Ministry of Women Affairs, Mrs. Julie Ereyefoju could not be reached for comments as she was not reachable on phone.


Already, parents are calling on the Delta State Government to maintain the existing tuition due to the harsh economic effects it will bring on them.

My gov is just busy adding to the suffering of the people. Shior
