The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), Nnewi North local government area chapter, Anambra state, Tuesday, lamented over alleged multiple taxation and neglect to their plights by the state government.
The NAPPS LG coordinator, Mr Ben Orizu, said private school owners pay all manners of levies, ranging from sanitation, approval renewal, business premises levies, among others.
Yet, he said government never recognises them while giving out incentives to public and mission schools.
Orizu, who stated this in an interview at closing of the day of African child marked by the chapter at Nnewi, appealed for Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s intervention by ways of harmonising the taxes they pay to the government for economic survival of the institutions.
Also speaking, the financial secretary of NAPPS, South east zone, Mr Paul Muoneke, urged government to remember private schools when giving out subvention and other incentives to schools.
