FCTA reads riot act against extortion in Abuja schools

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has issued a strong warning to territory schools to refrain from working with the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) to extort money from students and teachers through unauthorized projects.

The FCTA also warned that it’s illegal for schools to hide behind special initiatives to place undue difficulties on parents and guardians by collecting illegal fees.

Dahir El-Katuzu, FCTA Secretary for Education Secretariat, gave the warning during a school resumption inspection at Kubwa Government Secondary School.

FCTA has a standard that must be upheld in all schools and any school that breaks the regulations will be sanctioned, El-Katuzu hinted.
