Membership

Why school owners join AFED Lagos

Membership is built on two simple things: what proprietors gain by belonging, and what staying financially up to date keeps open to them.

A stronger collective voice

Registered proprietors join a community of fellow school owners, gain a united voice before government and regulators, and access training, seminars and technical advisory support.
