So you expect the school to absorb such cost?

Na so

The school cannot afford to pay for the costs of the tests.

I wish the government can step in to, at least, subsidize the cost

Gross extortion...dis country don finish.

Everybody wan cashout by all means See ehn, if you just get enough money ba, carry your family leave this useless country.. Nothing good will come out of it even in the next 50 years to come

Oga VC, Corona Virus has been technically defeated.

dts expected and part of the reasons why F.G dont want to reopen skuls..
some skuls would ask for covid test and would use it to extort the rich and the poor..

Evey body won sha cash out

Buy intelligent dispenser for soap and sanitizer

which one is Gross extortion? you know how much covid-19 cost? ask those returning to Nigeria since the resumption of international flight, you will understand, the school only wants to play safe with their students, the only solution if the government to intervene by conducting free test for all students which I doubt they will do.

I can't even understands what you're arguing self!
We want schools to reopen, stakeholders said government should provide some things to prevent corona from spreading.
FG does not want to provide such things, perhaps because of the cost.
Everybody went up in arms, raining abuses on ASUU, as if ASUU closed down schools
Now, private Unis want to reopen and are asking you to provide what others asked the FG to provide and you're still complaining
I am, seriously not understanding you

They know 25k is a chicken change for students paying annual fee of almost a million naira.

Hmm, but scrutinizing this fee properly you’d find out it costs more if you choose to buy a personal test kit by yourself either locally or online. It even costs far more going to get a lab certified test result by yourself elsewhere.

The students should endeavor to see this as a way to get a verified documentation of being virus free for cheap (especially when you compare it to their school fee prices)

This the only way to go, government can not be subsidising everything for everybody!

be like this one na the school staff; apparently, it doesn't occur to you that these school is using flimsy excuses to extort students. check if China charged there students for these insensitivity. lockdown, no money, where do u want them to cough out this sum! adherence to the social distance rules is enough for anywhere in Nigeria

no be only test!

25k x200 students, okay lemme stop being modest, 25k x a thousand students! what do they want to really buy, them no even put am at 5k

face mask + sanitizer= 2k kpatakpata,
they want conduct test?, person wey get covid no suppose the think of to resume school, the person suppose dey bed the struggle with life

In private set up like this, cost is wholly shifted to beneficiaries.

It is nothing, school that fees go into millions.
