Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari Wednesday ordered the immediate demotion of the Principal of Unity Secondary School, Manufachi, Malam Nurudeen Abubakar and the Head Teacher of Rimaye Model Primary school, Malam Yakubu Ibrahim to class room teachers.
Masari who took the action when he paid unscheduled visits to the schools also warned the principal of the Senior section of Unity Secondary school Manufalchi, Malam Nasiru Muazu to sit up or face sanction.
He also directed that all retired secondary school teachers still occupying government quarters to vacate the houses with immediate effect, even though the retired teachers claimed their gratuity have not been paid.
Masari, however, faulted their claims insisting that his government has paid gratuity of all retired teachers, insisting that the retired teachers should vacate the official quarters or face ejection, “Katsina state government is not indebted to any retired teacher as every one of them has been paid their gratuity to the last kobo.”
He added that the demotion of the Principal and Head Teacher came as a result of his dissatisfaction with the condition he found the schools, suggestive of lack of seriousness by the management.
Masari who expressed worry over the development despite the ongoing rehabilitation and renovation of the schools observed that the environment looked dirty and unkempt due to negligence on the part of the schools’ management.
He regretted that, “a wall which was recently erected by the state government has forcefully broken down thereby creating illegal entrance into the school premises; while at Rimaye Model Primary school which was comprehensively renovated, the doors and windows were found to be ajar at the mercy of elements and passing children.”
The governor further stated that the action was aimed at sending a warning to other Principals and Head Teachers to brace up or face similar sanction or punishment.
