Public Reaction
Many Nigerians expressed shock at the fees, questioning value, equity, and student capacity. Some argue it reflects the needs of high-net-worth families or expatriates looking for British-style education within Nigeria. The school responded by affirming its commitment to delivering world-class education with Nigerian cultural integration.
