The Federal Government has denied rumours that it is planning to handover the Federal Government colleges to the state governments.
According to the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education, Dr. Macjohn Nwaobiala, there was no such plan either now or in near future.
Nwaobiala, who made the declaration in an interview in Lagos recently, asked rhetorically that how many state governments were able to run their schools effectively despite their claims to have made education their first priority.
He noted that it is still the Federal Government that bails them out, especially concerning the basic education through the Universal Basic Education Commission sponsoring some of their major developmental projects and programmes.
However, the perm sec acknowledged the fact that the FG does not also fund education well as a result of what he termed scarce resources and used the medium to call on parents, groups, philanthropists and corporate bodies to join hands with the government to move the sector forward.
