Workers at King’s College, Lagos, under the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), have rejected the Federal Government’s concession of the institution to the King’s College Old Boys Association (KCOBA), insisting that the school will remain shut until the decision is reversed. The Chairman of the ASCSN King’s College Lagos Unit, Samuel Enang, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Wednesday. Enang said the workers, who were employed by the Federal Government, had unanimously opposed the concession and would continue to resist it through lawful means. According to him, the controversy began after the school’s principal informed staff about a letter from the Federal Ministry of Education notifying them of the concession to KCOBA. He said the development became more troubling when workers were presented with a nominal roll and asked to indicate whether ...

𝐁𝐘 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐓𝐀 𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐄, 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐚, 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to forthwith upload and utilise the modified digital logo of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), as contained in the party’s constitution. The judgment was delivered yesterday by Justice J. O. Abdulmalik in a suit filed by the NDC seeking to compel INEC to recognise and use the party’s constitutionally approved modified logo instead of the association logo under which the party was originally registered. According to the party, its first National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting approved the modified logo and forwarded it to INEC, which initially uploaded the logo before subsequently removing it without communicating any reason for the decision. The development prompted the party to approach the court after, according to its leadership, INEC failed to address the matter despite being giv...
