Based on the novel The Lekki Headmaster, what does the MD discover about the land Stardom acquired two years ago?

Answer Details

The Managing Director (MD) of Stardom Schools discovers that the land the school acquired two years earlier is being used as a car park by teachers and staff. When the MD inspects the land near the back gate, she finds approximately seventeen vehicles of various types parked there, many bearing Stardom Schools stickers, indicating they belong to staff members.

This discovery is significant because the land was acquired for the school's development purposes, not as a private parking lot for employees. The MD is surprised both by the unauthorised use of school property and by the fact that so many staff members own cars. This leads her to investigate how the staff are able to afford vehicles, which in turn uncovers the scale of the school's cooperative society and its lending activities.

The land was not being used for illegal activities, it had not been sold without the MD's knowledge, and it was not being developed into a new building. The straightforward reality was that staff had quietly converted it into their personal car park.
