Reps propose to ban public servants from using private schools, heathcare

A bill is being sponsored at the House of Representatives to bar public/civil servants and their families from using private schools and healthcare. 

The sponsor of the bill, Amobi Ogah, explained that it will eliminate conflicts of interest, build public trust, and uphold institutional integrity.

Citing historical examples of Nigerian leaders educated in public schools, and expressing concerns about spending on foreign medical/education services despite government allocations to public institutions, Ogah called on Nigerians and media to support the bill to prioritize local institutions.
