King's College Concession Follows St. Gregory's Revival Playbook

King's College Lagos is pursuing a 35-year concession arrangement with its Old Boys Association to rehabilitate the school, mirroring a model previously used to revive St. Gregory's College. The move signals a shift toward private alumni-led management of public secondary education assets in Nigeria, potentially reducing the government's capital and operational burden while raising questions about access, fee structures, and accountability in a publicly owned institution. If replicated, such concessions could establish a template for infrastructure and governance reform across Nigeria's underfunded public school system.
