The Kano State government has ordered the immediate suspension of three public secondary school principals for negligence.
Chronicle NG reports that G.G.S.S. Dawanau, G.G.S.S. Kwa, and G.A.S.S. Dawanau are the schools impacted, all of which are located in the Dawakin Tofa local government region.
Alh. Umar Haruna Doguwa, the State Commissioner for Education, made the announcement immediately after visiting the schools between 9 and 10 a.m. today (Friday), when he discovered that the affected principals had not reported to their job positions.
According to his investigations, all three head teachers have been missing from work on Fridays for quite some time.
“This administration will not condone truancy, lateness, or any form of official misconduct; therefore, these principals are suspended forthwith”, he said.
The Commissioner further directed that new and competent principals be posted to the three schools immediately to ensure that academic activities are not disrupted.
Alh. Umar Doguwa also directed that four teachers at GGSS Kwa and two at GASS Dawanau be queried for truancy.
“The action of these principals and teachers depicts unseriousness. We are a serious government, and we will not allow uncommitted people to ruin our plans for education”, he warned.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner has directed that the principal of G.G.S.S. Harbau, Tsanyawa local government, be rewarded for her diligence.
