Concession of Kings College stalls resumption of unity colleges
By Adesina Wahab
nThe 155 unity colleges run by the Federal Government across the country did not resume for academic activities on Monday as parents and guardians refused to let their children and wards go back after the long holiday.
nThe development is a fallout from the concession of Kings College, Lagos, to the Old Boys Association, which parents and others are opposed to.
nChecks by Vanguard across the country showed that the colleges were desolate of students on Monday.
nSpeaking with our correspondent, the Chairman of the Parent Teacher Association of Unity Colleges in the South-West, Mr Ayopo Somefun, said the schools would remain shut until the FG rescinds the decision to concession Kings College.
nAccording to him, if the concession of Kings College stands, the exercise would be extended to the other unity colleges, and that would negate the reasons for setting up the schools.
nDetails later.
