Nigeria is preparing for the 2026 World Teachers’ Day on October 5, and the CEO of Africa Brands Review (ABR), Joseph Ayodele, has urged the Federal Government to suspend or withdraw a proposed 35-year concession of King’s College, Lagos. Ayodele argues that resolving the controversy surrounding the concession could help de-escalate tensions in the education sector and facilitate the smooth resumption of Federal Unity Colleges and Federal Technical Colleges for the upcoming academic session.
