Education levies : Catholic insists pry schools’ pupils not taxable

A High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti has fixed August 31 to deliver judgement in a suit filed by the Catholic Diocese of Ekiti against the  state government on the introduction and imposition of N1,000 and N500 Education Development Levies for pupils in secondary and primary schools, respectively, in both public and  private schools in the state.

Apparently Irked by this, the Catholic Diocese of Ekiti, owner of Holy Child’s Nursery and Primary School and Saint Joseph’s Nursery and Primary School,  had approached the court, seeking the interpretation of the laws regarding  the  propriety of the Ayo Fayose government’s action.
