What happened
The federal government of Nigeria proposed a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) concession for King's College in Lagos. The government reached an agreement with the King’s College Old Boys Association regarding the concession. Critics, including the Oyo State chapter of Socialist Labour, oppose the move, arguing it is an attempt to privatize public education.
Why it matters
The proposal addresses concerns over deteriorating infrastructure and standards at the institution. Opponents argue the concession could enable the government to abandon its responsibility for quality public education and transfer the financial burden onto families.
