July 21, (THEWILL) – The Kano State Government has ordered the immediate suspension of three principals of public secondary schools for dereliction of duty.
The schools affected are G.G.S.S. Dawanau, G.G.S.S. Kwa and G.A.S.S. Dawanau, all in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area.
Commissioner for Education, Umar Haruna Doguwa, announced their suspension shortly after visiting the schools on Friday, July 21.
Doguwa, who arrived at the schools between 9-10 am on Friday, found out that the affected principals have routinely been absent 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.
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 in Tsanyawa Local Government, be rewarded for her diligence.
