As if Sen. Ben Bruce knew this was going to happen, Kaduna govt sacks headmaster, suspends 2 others for diverting pupils’ Biscuits, Oranges



The Senator in his tweet a day ago advised the government to pay teachers well first before embarking on feeding of the pulpils. He said if teachers are not paid well, the food meant for pulpils will end up in teacher's belly. Today the Vanguard news reports that the Kaduna State Government has sacked two senior education officials and suspended two others for diverting food meant for the feeding of primary school pupils.



“A School Support Officer in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area (LGA), Ibrahim Abdullahi has been sacked for supplying oranges and biscuits meant for school pupils to a fruits vendor in Birning Gwari to sell for him. “Also, the Headmaster of L.E.A Labi, in Karji, Kubau LGA was also sacked for collecting bribe from a vendor who received government money but did not cook. “Instead of returning the money she shared it with the headmaster.

“We have also received a report that the Headmaster of Nuhu Bamali Primary School in Kaduna South LGA loaded his car with pupils’ oranges and drove out. “The headmaster has been suspended until investigation is concluded and if found guilty, he will also be sacked. “The police is also investigating the Headmaster of Nomadic Fulani School in Ricifa, Soba LGA for inflating the number of pupils in the school.

“He is also suspended and would be sacked if found guilty,” Adamu said. The commissioner disclosed that a query had been issued to the Education Secretary of Igabi LGA, for allegedly contracting men as food vendors for the schools feeding programme instead of women. “According to the report, the men would cook the food and hire women to serve the pupils in the schools. We are investigating the matter and he would be sacked if found wanting.”
