NewsN1.1 million school fees: More allegations as Abia Assembly probes Umuahia collegePublished on March 28, 2025By Daniel Chibuike

The Abia State House of Assembly Joint Committee on Education, Public Petition and Judiciary on Thursday, asked all parties involved in the petition of alleged high school fees in Government College Umuahia, to maintain status quo until the Committee makes its decision known.

The House Committee stated this at the Assembly complex during the continuation of its investigation into the petitions brought by Mr Chukwudi Onwudinanti, an indigene of Ubani Emede-Ibeku in which Onwudinanti had alleged that the Trustees of Government College Umuahia, Fishers Education Development Trust (FEDT) increased annual school fees of the school to over one million Naira per student, among other allegations.

During the second sitting on Thursday, the Chairman of the Committee, Anderson Akaliro, and the Deputy Speaker, Austin Okezie asked the members of FEDT to present their defense to the allegations, especially on high school fees, ownership of the school and tenure of members of FEDT board of trustees.
Mr Onyema Nkele, who spoke for FEDT, said the school remained a public institution, but privately managed by FEDT, adding that most of the allegations made against the Trustees of FEDT by the Old Boys were not correct.
Also speaking, the chairman of the College’s management board, Mr Okechukwu Nwadinaobi, said the school is charging a subsidized fee of N350,000 per term, adding that collapsed buildings were replaced with new ones.

But the Secretary of the Government College Umuahia Old Boys Association (GCUOBA) Nkem Egbuta, said the old boys had complained about the fees which is N1,150,000 per session which many parents could not afford.
He alleged that the fees were initially fixed at N2,000,000 before it was brought down to N1,150,000 after the Old Boys raised alarm.

The counsel to the petitioner, Ugochukwu Zik, said they approached the State Assembly in order to protect the interest of the public and not to fight FEDT.

These women are farmers. They're from Isi Uzor LGA, in Enugu state. They're saying that Fulani herds men invaded them, r***d many of the women and inserted stick in their virgina.
They said they don't get anything in their farms due to Fulani herdsmen.

They will kidnap them and their husbands and be giving they Cow Urine as water. Sometimes they kill them after collecting randsom..

They're calling on the government of Enugu state to come to their aid.

Is something like this supposed to be heard in Nigeria at this point in time?

These are peoples mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of men? Is there still any man remaining in Enugu state and Eastern Nigeria?

This is a very sad story, and Nigerian government, the entire south Eastern government should riase and investigate this and bring an end to this ugly situation with a still stand on the Fulami herdsmen.
