The school has reportedly kept its tuition fees at the official rate of 1,500LL but could not keep up with expenses, since they would need around 20 million LL to cover for fuel alone.<br \/>  <br \/>  It&#8217;s simply heartbreaking and terrifying to see such support systems shut down due to a neglectful and corrupt state. Many individuals are put in danger when such institutions are unable to maintain their operations.    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
