Six Sokoto Principals Suspended Over Alleged Misconduct

Six school principals have been suspended by the Sokoto State Government as a result of allegations of insubordination and unauthorised collection of fees in relation to the results of the Junior Secondary School (JSS) examination.

Ahmad Ala, the ministry’s director of public relations, Ibrahim Iya, made the announcement in a statement.

No principal or school administrator is prohibited from tamper with law or abuse students or parents, Ala declared.

The professor continued, “Our schools must be run according to accountability rather than personal interests.”

The commissioner added that any official found to be incompetent would be immediately sanctioned by the government.

Nana Girls Secondary School, Government Day Secondary School (GDSS), Gagi, GDSS, Mana, Giginya Memorial College, Mana Basic Secondary School, and GDSS, Silame are the affected principals.

Silame, the GDSS principal, was specifically punished for insubordination, the statement claimed.

The commissioner established a five-member investigative committee led by a professor, Mustapha Tukur, to address the allegations.

The Directors of Planning at the Teachers Service Board, the Director of Quality Assurance at AIEB, and the Executive Secretary of the Committee will also be there.

With immediate effect, the suspended principals have received instructions to assign all administrative responsibilities to their respective vice principals in charge of administration.
