Nasarawa SUBEB suspends Lafia education secretary

Dr Kassim Mohammed-Kassim, the Executive Chairman of Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board (SEBEB), has suspended the Education Secretary of Lafia Local Government, Usman Aliyu, for being absent at his duty post.

Mohammed-Kassim issued the suspension on Thursday in Lafia during his unscheduled visits to some schools and Local Education Authority offices in Lafia.

The visit was aimed at supervising staff to ascertain the quality of teaching and learning, as well as assessing facilities and structures for necessary improvement.

Mohammed-Kassim said the suspension followed the inability of the education secretary to be in office to receive and brief him on the state of affairs of schools under his jurisdiction.

The SUBEB boss said that the action would serve as a deterrent to others who may want to sabotage the administration’s well-packaged vision for basic education in the state.

On the shortage of teachers, the SUBEB Chairman who assumed office recently assured that the board would soon carry out the recruitment of qualified teachers for primary schools.

He said that the board would post teachers to schools in rural communities to address the over-concentration of teachers in urban schools.

He also assured that all teachers under the payroll of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) would be absorbed into full-time jobs with the board.

He urged the PTA teachers to exercise patience as modalities are being worked out for their absorption.

The newly appointed executive chairman thanked Gov. Abdullahi Sule for the opportunity given him to serve the state, and promised to discharge his duty with a high sense of responsibility to support the administration to succeed.
