A civil rights organisation, Initiative for Citizens’ Rights, Accountability and Development, has alleged that an illegal levy has been imposed on Senior Secondary School students in the Federal Capital Territory, particularly on SS1 and SS2, students.

The Executive Director of ICRAD, Hassan Luqman, in a petition addressed to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on Wednesday, added that that the fees was being paid into a private account – Shokami Consulting Limited, Zenith Bank Account number 1014972989 – instead of the Treasury Single Account platform of government.

The petition reads partly, “It has come to our notice that the Senior Secondary School Students in the FCT, particularly those in SS1 and 2, are being forced to pay the sum of N1,500 per session outside the official fees recognised by the FCTA.
