The Federal Government has clarified that it has no plan to extend the proposed management arrangement for King’s College, Lagos, to other Federal Unity Colleges across the nation.
The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, stated this during a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday while addressing the ongoing controversy surrounding the proposed deal.
Alausa revealed that the government had explicitly informed labour unions that the agreement with the King’s College Old Boys’ Association remained an isolated case.
He stressed that the single-management model did not signal a shift towards similar arrangements for other government-owned schools.
“No. We’re not extending it. The government still has its responsibility,” Alausa affirmed.
He reassured the public that the Federal Government would maintain its mandate to fund the rehabilitation of all other Unity Colleges directly.
