Alhaji Umar Haruna Doguwa, the Kano State Commissioner for Education, has ordered the immediate suspension of the principals of the French and Chinese Bilingual Colleges in Kwankwaso, in the state’s Madobi Local Government Area, for absences and disregard of duty.
Likewise, the ministry has given the go-ahead for the appointment of Umar Akilu Sabo as the sit-in principal of the French Bilingual College and Isyaku Umar Abdullahi as the sit-in principal of the Chinese Bilingual College Kwankwaso.
Balarabe Abdullahi Kiru, the ministry’s director of public education, said in a statement on Monday that the suspended principals were not present in the classrooms when the take-up inspection team visited on Monday (today) to observe the start of the 2023–2024 school year’s first term.
The statement claims that the inspection team, which was led by the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Hajiya Kubra Imam, found that the two colleges’ students were not provided with dinner on Sunday night and that their breakfast for Monday had not yet been prepared.
The commissioner instructed the two principals to turn over control of the school to the new sit-in principals and report to the ministry while an investigation was underway after expressing his dismay over what he called the two principals’ careless attitudes.
Doguwa cautioned all school officials to avoid any behavior that would jeopardize the current administration’s efforts to revitalize the educational industry.
The commissioner has, in the meantime, praised the principals of the Government Girls College in Kano and the Government Girls Secondary School in Kwankwaso for their commitment and cooperation in making all the necessary preparations for the start of the 2023–2024 academic year.”
The way the food was given to the students really impressed them. The release quoted the commissioner as stating, “Their turnout is quite impressive and the principals of the two Schools made a good effort to make their school atmosphere favorable.
