The federal government has said that the 115 Federal Unity Colleges in the country will soon be unbundled into basic and secondary schools.
Minister of State for Education, Dr Yusuf Sununu, made this known during the opening of the Annual General Meeting of Principals of Unity Colleges in Abuja.
Sununu stated that the plan to unbundle the Unity Colleges aligns with the National Policy on Education.
He explained that the unbundling of Federal Unity Colleges would, among other things, attract more funding to improve infrastructure, address teachers’ welfare, and create employment opportunities.
The minister added that the ministry, with support from relevant government agencies, would ensure this is achieved in the shortest possible time.
Sununu called for the collaboration of the principals as critical stakeholders to improve the educational landscape of the schools.
