| Education Unions Block Students From Resuming Federal Unity Colleges Nationwide |
Education unions in Nigeria have blocked students from returning to Federal Unity Colleges nationwide until the government cancels its plan to concede King's College, Lagos.
The unions made the announcement on Thursday, saying no students will resume until the issue is settled.
The ban covers all Federal Government Colleges, Federal Government Boys Colleges, Federal Government Girls Colleges and Federal Technical Colleges across the country.
The unions are firmly opposed to the sale or concession of King's College or any other Federal Unity College in Nigeria.
They said they've been trying to meet with the Minister of Education for the past month to discuss their concerns, but those requests were ignored, forcing them to take this action.
The unions appealed to parents, guardians, school management committees, Parent-Teacher Associations and community leaders to support their position against the concession.
They also called on other organisations, including university worker unions, the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress, and the Nigerian Union of Journalists, to join their campaign against the plan.
The unions said the planned concession or sale of King's College had to be reversed before students could return to school.
