Hundreds of parents and staff of King's College, Lagos, recently protested against a proposed plan to hand over the management of the school to the Old Boys Association (KCOBA), carrying placards with messages such as 'King's College is not for sale' and 'Federal Government, we say no to concession.' The protesters demanded the suspension of the school's resumption slated for September 13, and the PTA Chairman, Engr. Oluwaleye Peter, threatened court action if the federal government did not respond. The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, stated that the school has not been sold and that the federal government retains 100 per cent ownership. The article condemns the move and calls for a better response from the Federal Ministry of Education.
