The Kano State Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Umar Haruna, has directed the immediate suspension of two Principals of French Bilingual Collage and Chinese Bilingual Collage Kwankwaso in Madobi Local Government Area for absenteeism and Negligence to duty.
The State Ministry of Education also approved the posting of Umar Akilu Sabo as sit-in Principal French Bilingual Collage and Isyaku Umar Abdullahi as sit-in Principal Chinese Bilingual Collage Kwankwaso respectively.
A statement by the Director Public Enlightenment of the Ministry, Balarabe Abdullahi Kiru, disclosed that the suspended principals were inexcusably absent when the inspection team paid a visit on Monday to monitor the commencement of the 2023/2024 session.
According to the statement, the inspection team led by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Hajiya Kubra Imam, discovered that students of the two Collages were not served food for Sunday night and their breakfast for Monday was not ready up to the time of the visit.
The Commissioner expressed dismay over what he called unconcerned attitude shown by the two Principals and therefore directed them to handover the schools affairs to the new sit-in Principals and report to the ministry for further investigation.
Emphasizing the need for better education outcomes in the state, Umar Doguwa warned all School Authorities to shun any act that would undermine the present administration’s effort in reviving education sector in the state.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner commended the Principal of Government Girls Collage (WTC) Kano Kofar Famfo and her counterpart of Government Girls Secondary School Kwankwaso for their dedication and compliance to make all the needed arrangements for the commencement of the new session.
He said, “Students are so impressed with the way they were served food in the two schools. Their turn out is very commendable and Principals of the two Schools made good effort to make their school environments conductive.”
