  "summary": "The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has suspended its strike over the concession of King’s College, Lagos, which had threatened the reopening of the 115 Federal Unity Colleges nationwide. The decision was reached at a meeting between the leadership of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, ASCSN, and zonal coordinators of the Unity Schools in Kano on Tuesday. The union leaders resolved to suspend the industrial action to allow a seven-member committee to review the concession document for King’s College. This development comes after the ASCSN and Parent Teacher Association had shut all the Unity Colleges, demanding that the Federal Government reverse the concession of King’s College to its Old Boys Association.",
