Organised Labour under the auspices of Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria has raised the alarm over fresh moves to sell off the country’s 110 unity schools, otherwise known as Federal Government Colleges nationwide.The association’s secretary-general, Joshua Apebo, lamented that more than 10 years after the union stalled plans to sell the 110 FGCs, the collective wealth of millions of Nigerians to the privileged few, the matter was rearing its ugly head again.
He alleged that once the schools are ceded to private entrepreneurs, they would become money-spinners, and as such would be out of the reach of millions of Nigerian children, whose parents and guardians would not afford exorbitant fees that would be imposed on them. “Indeed, Section 18 provides that the Government shall strive to eradicate illiteracy and shall therefore provide free, compulsory, and universal primary education; free secondary education; free university education; and free adult literacy programme,” he said.
