The Ekiti State government came out with
a 1,000 Naira education development levy
to be paid by each pupil in private primary
and secondary schools.
The move was considered to be multiple
taxation by the private school owners and
it subsequently led them to staging the
protest.
The basic no-strike posture of private
primary and secondary
school was jettisoned with the total shut
down of private schools in the state.
During the protest, the proprietors
insisted that it is against every norm and
another burden on the already heavy
taxes from the state government.
Speaking on behalf of the school owners,
President of the National Association of
Proprietors of Private Schools in Ekiti
State, Saka Adeleye, said that it is either
total removal of the due or total
shutdown of schools.
Reacting to the claim, the Ekiti State
Commissioner for Information, Lanre
Ogunsuyi, admitted that the government
indeed issued the levy but asked for
understanding from the proprietors.

So, with all the noise Fayose makes all over the place, he's got no other ideas on how to generate revenue than tax pupils. These kids will now bear the brunt of his Stomach Infrastructure agenda. Shame!
