Fees in Nigerian Naira. September-ish starts. Diplomatic arrivals are mid-year by default. Local named facts include WAEC, NECO, FCT, Nigerian Naira. Instrument: operational finance beside, not inside, the pupil ledger. Nigerian Naira term fees; diplomatic concessions should be named. Public holidays and FCT circulars belong on the holiday master.

A general ledger may still live in the accountant’s system. Operational bills can still be tracked next to the school record. Statutory accounts stay with the accountant. Do not treat operational finance as a P&L. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
