Workers in the Federal Unity Colleges have refused to resume operations despite the Federal Government's directive for schools to reopen. The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, in collaboration with the Joint Congress of Unions of the Federal Ministry of Education, stated that the boycott of activities in the 115 federal unity colleges remains in effect until the government halts the concession of King's College, Lagos, to its old boys' association.
The unions refuse to comply with the directive, citing the potential threat to the future of the Federal Unity School system. Students who were supposed to gain admission to the colleges are unable to enter due to the staff unions' stance and the closure of the schools.
