The Kano State government announced the immediate suspension of three public secondary school principals for deliberate negligence in their duties.

Alh. Umar Haruna Doguwa, the State Commissioner for Education, made the announcement shortly after visiting the schools between 9 and 10 a.m. today (Friday), where he discovered that the affected principals had not reported to their job posts.

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.

“From the checks he conducted, all of the three officers have routinely absconded 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.”

To ensure that academic activities are not affected, the Commissioner further directed that fresh and qualified principals be assigned to the three schools immediately.

In addition, Alh. Umar Doguwa requested that four instructors at GGSS Kwa and two at GASS Dawanau be querried 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”,

Meanwhile, the Commissioner has ordered that the Principal of G.G.S.S. Harbau, Tsanyawa local government, be awarded for her diligence.
