Seven days after the expected reopening of the Federal Unity Colleges for the new academic session, over 117 schools continue to stay closed. The ongoing strike by a faction of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has prevented the resumption of students. This faction, led by Shehu Mohammed, refuses to lift the strike until the government addresses its concerns over the proposed concession of King’s College, Lagos.

PTAs of various Federal Unity Colleges have advised parents not to send their children back to school until the situation is clarified.
