The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) has announced its intention to grant the just-released 52 minors scholarships up to the secondary school level.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered the release of the minors arrested during the End-Bad-Governance protests.

Speaking at a briefing on Tuesday, NAPPS Board of Trustees Chairman, Alhaji Abdulmumuni Kundak applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the newly released entrepreneurship curriculum for pupils in Basic schools, stressing the need for skill acquisition for national development.

The association, whichh hailed the President for ordering the release of the minors, reiterated its commitment to fostering progress in educational development and quality pedagogy while it continues to be a pillar of excellence and positive transformation in the country?s educational landscape.

Kundak announced the approval of the 2023 NAPPS Constitution by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to ensure that all governance procedures are strictly aligned with the constitution.

He said the official recognition from CAC distinguishes the duly appointed Board of Trustees of the NAPPS from any other group claiming such authority.
