Parents of students at Federal Government Girls College, Nkwelle Ezunaka( Near Onitsha), Anambra State, staged a protest on Sunday against the school’s decision to reject the patented Detol disinfectant product, opting instead for a school-made alternative.
The parents, who had purchased the Detol product at N10,500 per liter, were shocked when the school declared it “fake” and demanded that students purchase the school-made disinfectant at N8,000.
Joe Eze, a parent, expressed his outrage, stating, “This is arrant nonsense. Who can buy a patented product in a supermarket only for a local teacher to declare it fake and impose a school-made product on students? This is criminal.”
Another parent, Jacob Nnadi, who refused to pay for the school-made disinfectant, had his Detol product examined by a senior teacher, who also declared it “fake.”
However, Nnadi insisted that his product was genuine, purchased from an open market.
The school’s actions have raised concerns about exploitation and the prioritization of profits over student welfare.
The parents are calling for an investigation into the matter and demanding that the school accept the patented Detol product.
This incident serves as a warning to parents to be vigilant against exploitation by educational institutions.
It is essential to ensure that schools prioritize student welfare and safety above financial interests.

I’d have to test with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a submit that can make individuals think. Also, thanks for permitting me to remark!
I have two daughter in that school. I have been to other schools. I have never seen this level of exploitation and criminality. For starters parents sponsored a borne hole in that school. E authorities turned this into a money making venture, by turning it into a pure water factory then turn around to sell water to our daughters.
Most times they create artificial scarcity of water
