In a post on his X page, the MP described the prospectus as \"huge and heavily laden,\" raising concerns over whether new students truly need to bring all the items listed. Dafeamekpor expressed worry over the financial burden placed on parents due to the compulsory list. He queried, \"Honestly, must a fresh SHS Student present all these listed items to school as a freshman or woman?\" The MP contended that the prospectus has become a significant source of concern for parents due to the associated financial strain.",
