King’s College: Unity Colleges staff defy FG resumption order

Staff at Federal Unity Colleges across Nigeria ignored the Federal Government's directive to resume academic activities on Monday, holding firm in their indefinite strike over the concession of King's College, Lagos. The strike, led by the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, maintained its stance that the conflict over King's College would not be resolved without addressing all outstanding issues.

Union leaders accused the Ministry of Education of breaching the September 14 agreement reached with the trade unions and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria. They also cited the deployment of policemen at King's College and concerns over the potential privatisation of other Unity Colleges as additional reasons for continuing the strike.
