  "summary": "Former principals of King's College, Lagos, have rejected the Federal Government's decision to hand over the institution to the King's College Old Boys' Association. In a statement signed by seven former principals, including Dr S. A. B. Atolagbe and Sylvester Onoja, the group urged the government to suspend the arrangement and retain responsibility for the college. The former principals argue that the Federal Government should instead develop a comprehensive master plan for the 117-year-old institution and allow the old boys and other stakeholders to support its development without taking over its administration.",
