The federal government has suspended the implementation of the concession arrangement for Kings College, Lagos, with the old boys’ association of the school for two weeks.

TheCable understands that the two-week suspension of the implementation was part of resolutions reached at the end of an emergency meeting held by Tunji Alausa, minister of education, with labour unions at the ministry on Wednesday.

The parties at the meeting also agreed on the immediate suspension of all industrial action over the King’s College concession.

It was also agreed that no staff would be victimised for participating in any industrial action over the dispute.
