King's College, Lagos, has been seized by its staff union after the Federal Government ordered the transfer of the historic institution to the King's College Old Boys' Association (KCOBA). This move has created uncertainty around the planned student resumption on Sunday, as the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) will decide by Thursday whether the school can reopen.
The Federal Ministry of Education confirmed the school's transfer to KCOBA in a letter dated September 4, 2026, and directed the immediate commencement of the handover process. The transition committee is to complete its work within six months, after which the Federal Government's funding to the college will cease.
