  "summary": "The Federal Government has assured that school fees at King's College, Lagos, will not increase under a proposed management arrangement. The government has clarified that this deal is an isolated case and will not be extended to other schools.\n\nThe Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, explained that the college, established during the colonial era, has suffered significant deterioration over the years due to infrastructure decay and funding gaps. He cited poor conditions in hostels, bathrooms, classrooms, laboratories, and other facilities, as well as prolonged electricity outages, as reasons for exploring alternative management options.\n\nAccording to Daily Trust, the minister observed several vehicles using parts of the school premises as a paid car park, raising security concerns. He directed the cancellation of this arrangement. The proposed management deal involves the King's College Old Boys Association (KCOBA).",
