The Federal Government has announced plans to unbundle the 115 Federal Unity Colleges across the country into separate basic and secondary schools.
This development was revealed by the Minister of State for Education, Dr. Yusuf Sununu, during the opening of the Annual General Meeting of Principals of Unity Colleges in Abuja on Tuesday, September 17.
Dr. Sununu explained that the restructuring of the Federal Unity Colleges is intended to attract more funding for improved infrastructure, address teachers’ welfare, and create new employment opportunities.
Sununu said;
“I want to emphasise the significance of fostering an entrepreneurial spirit in our youths, a spirit that will propel them toward self-reliance and contribute meaningfully to our nation’s development.
“Unemployment remains a pressing concern, and it is our collective responsibility to equip our students with the skills and mindset necessary to succeed.
