Drama at Education Ministry as workers block entrance, chant ‘Alausa must go’
The unions have previously demanded the removal of the minister and expressed opposition to the reported 35-year concession of the college
Workers of the Federal Ministry of Education on Wednesday morning blocked the entrance to the ministry’s headquarters, preventing the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, and the Acting Permanent Secretary, Dr Folake Olatunji-David, from accessing their offices.
A video circulating on X showed a group of workers gathered at the entrance of the ministry as a motorcade reportedly carrying the minister arrived at the premises.
The protesters refused to allow access into the building and were heard chanting, “Alausa must go.”
The reason for the protest was not immediately stated in the report.
The development comes amid an ongoing dispute between the ministry’s workers and the Federal Government over the proposed concession of King’s College, Lagos, as well as other issues raised by the workers’ unions.
The unions have previously demanded the removal of the minister and expressed opposition to the reported 35-year concession of the college to its old boys’ association.
The workers have also raised concerns over staff welfare and other administrative issues within the ministry.
The latest protest indicates that tensions between the ministry’s management and the workers remain unresolved despite recent engagements between the two sides.
