A public-private partnership agreement has sparked backlash at Federal Government College Kano, after alumni alleged that about 33 hectares of school land was handed to Pluck Global Construction Company for development. The Federal Government says the deal aims to upgrade aging infrastructure, including classrooms, a sports complex and a health centre. However, the FGC Kano Old Students Association (FGCKOSA) has rejected the arrangement, claiming the land is worth tens of billions of naira and that the proposed facilities do not match its value. The group has raised concerns over student safety, arguing that integrating a private estate within the school's premises could increase security risks and limit access to recreational and worship spaces. FGCKOSA President Shoyinka Shodunke confirmed the association has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission for investigation. A letter was also sent to President Bola Tinubu urging the Federal Government to cancel the agreement. Legal action has followed, with a Federal High Court ordering the preservation of the status quo, halting construction until the matter is resolved. The alumni have warned potential buyers to avoid transactions involving the disputed land due to ongoing litigation.
