Parents and Workers Protest Concession of King’s College
On 15 September 2026, workers and parents protested by shutting the gates of 120 Federal Government Colleges (FGCs) across Nigeria, disrupting the resumption for the 2026/2027 academic session. The protests were in response to the concession of King’s College, Lagos, to the King’s College Old Boys’ Association (KCOBA).
The protests extended to the Federal Ministry of Education headquarters in Abuja, where workers, led by ASCSN Chairman Samson Chigozie Nnegdi, barricaded the entrance, demanding the government halt the concession plan. The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) and the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) organized protests, with some students turned away from schools.
Ebenezer Oguntade, ASCSN General Secretary at King’s College, expressed concerns over the exclusion of critical stakeholders from negotiations. Emmanuel Abya, Treasurer of the King’s College PTA, stated that the concession could limit access to education for children from poor families.
The protests also occurred at Federal Government Girls’ College, Bwari, Abuja.
