Unity College Workers Strike
Staff across Nigeria’s 115 Federal Unity Colleges have maintained their industrial action following an unresolved dispute regarding the proposed concessioning and public-private partnership (PPP) model slated for King’s College, Lagos.
Under the umbrella of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) and affiliated education sector unions, staff members have halted academic, administrative, and boarding services across secondary institutions nationwide.
Breakdown of the Unity College Industrial Action
| Parameter | Key Dispute Details |
| Affected Institutions | All 115 Federal Unity Colleges Nationwide |
| Primary Catalyst | Proposed concessioning / PPP restructuring of King’s College, Lagos |

Core Demands of the Striking Workers
- Reversal of Concessioning Plan: The union demands a complete suspension of any policy aimed at handing over the management or assets of King’s College, Lagos—or any other Unity School—to private entities.
- Protection of Public Secondary Education: Union leaders argue that concessioning elite federal secondary schools sets a dangerous precedent that could lead to commercialization and exclude children of low-income Nigerians.
- Job Security and Benefits Assurance: Workers are demanding official guarantees regarding civil service status protection, pension rights, and the settlement of outstanding promotional backlogs and allowances.
Operational Impact Across Unity Schools
- Academic Disruption: Classroom activities, laboratory practicals, and continuous assessment tests remain suspended across all affected schools.
- Boarding House Operations: Non-academic boarding staff and kitchen workers have joined the action, causing administrative challenges for residential students.
- Government Intervention: Representatives from the Federal Ministry of Education are currently in emergency discussions with union executives to establish a compromise and restore normal school operations.
