An X user, SisiYėmmié.com, @Sisi_Yemmie, who reacted to the fee wondered the kind of impression she must have given for someone to think she can afford that amount.
A management consultant, Dr Dípò Awójídé, said the school is not for every one but around 1% of the population. Suggesting that the N42 million is not much, Awójídé said Charterhouse UK charges £47,535 per year – which is over N60 million.

He said the school is being brought to the Nigerian elites and it is saving the country FX since they charge in Naira.
“I hear Charterhouse is building its first African school in Lagos on 70 hectares of land worth $150 million.”
He added:
“The elite now have the opportunity to send their children to a prestigious UK school, get to see them regularly, and even save on travel tickets.
“Lagos and Nigeria are attracting huge investments, and we should be proud of it. Other African elites would instead send their children to Lagos to be close to family. This investment is a plus for Lagos, Nigeria, and our education system.”READ FULL ARTICLE>>>>
