“It is a university and not a primary or secondary school. University students come from all over the country and sometimes from outside so it doesn’t make sense to ask parents to come to the school,” a parent told SaharaReporters.

“Many parents are not even in Nigeria while some in Nigeria may be living in other regions, so it will cost parents a lot to travel to the school,” another parent said.
