Children’s Day: NAPPS Appeals To FG For Tax Holiday

Nigeria Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) has made an appeal to Federal Government for a significant tax holiday for private school owners in the country.
The association has also called for government’s more robust collaboration with private schools for a brighter and more inclusive future of Nigerian children.
NAPPS, while making the appeal noted that besides the numerous contributions of private schools in complementing Federal Government’s efforts in achieving quality educational standard for the nation , many private schools have catered for the developmental needs of children from less fortunate backgrounds.
These were contained in a statement signed by the National President Nigeria Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) Samira Jibir on the occasion of 2024 Children’s Day celebration.
Her words “Today, we celebrate the joy, and boundless potential embodied by our children and reaffirm our commitment to their holistic development and well-being. In Nigeria, where our youth represent a substantial portion of the population, investing in their education and welfare is not just a moral imperative but a strategic necessity for the progress and prosperity of our nation.
“Education is not a solitary endeavor. It thrives on a strong partnership between parents, educators’ communities and the government. Parents are the first teachers in a child’s life, and their involvement is essential for a child’s success. NAPPS encourages active parental participation in school activities, curriculum discussions, and open communication with teachers”.
