AG. EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF SUBEB ORDERS REMOVAL OF HEADTEACHERS IN Garko Local Government Area OVER NEGLIGENCE OF DUTY:

The Acting Executive Chairman and Permanent Commissioner I of the Kano State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Hon. Wada Ibrahim Daho, has ordered the immediate removal of the Head Teacher of Makadi Saikahu Primary School during an inspection visit to Garko Local Government Education Authority (LGEA).

The Acting Chairman led members of the Board’s management team and senior officers on a comprehensive school inspection exercise across Garko LGEA. During the exercise, it was discovered that the Head Teacher was absent from his duty post and was giving more attention to his traditional role as the District Head of Dososo Village at the expense of his primary responsibilities as a school administrator, prompting the Board to order his immediate removal.

“Immediate action must be taken, as the Board will not condone negligence of duty,” the Acting Chairman stated.

He further explained that the inspection exercise was designed to assess the level of punctuality and attendance of teachers and learners, evaluate teachers’ preparedness for classroom activities, and examine the availability of essential school records and infrastructure across schools within the LGEA.

The Directors and senior officers of the Board were also assigned to inspect various schools within the LGEA to monitor teaching and learning activities in their respective schools.

During the inspection, the Acting Chairman visited Kafin Malamai Central Primary School (CPS) and Government Junior Secondary School (GJSS) Co-Exist, Kafin Malamai, where he observed classroom activities and monitored the conduct of teaching and learning. He also commended the impressive turnout and commitment demonstrated by learners in the schools visited.

Hon. Wada Ibrahim Daho further assessed the performance of teachers and pupils to ensure that academic activities were being carried out effectively in line with the Board’s objectives.

“The learners have the passion and zeal to learn, but some school administrators and teachers are not showing commitment to their duties, and these habits can hinder effective learning for children,” he stated.

The Acting Chairman said the Board decided to organize the inspection visits in order to witness firsthand how activities were being carried out, rather than remaining in the office issuing directives. He also called on teachers to fear God and remain committed, honest, and dedicated in the discharge of their duties.

He reaffirmed the Board’s commitment to improving standards in public primary and upper basic schools through regular monitoring, supervision, and continuous support for teachers and school leaders.

Following the inspection exercise, the Acting Chairman held a feedback meeting with the management of Garko LGEA, where he expressed concern over the persistent issue of school leaders and teachers arriving late to school in many of the schools visited.

Hon. Wada Ibrahim Daho stated that the inspection exercise had revealed weaknesses in leadership across schools within Garko LGEA. He also observed that School Support Officers (SSOs) were not actively carrying out their responsibilities effectively, considering the numerous challenges identified in the area.

He therefore emphasized the need for punctuality, accountability, and commitment among school leaders, teachers, and SSOs, noting that learners had shown commitment and passion for learning, while some school administrators and teachers were still failing to report to school on time as expected.

In his remarks, the State Chairman of the National Union of Teachers (NUT), Comrade Baffa Ibrahim Garko, appealed to the Board to include the NUT, School Based Management Committees (SBMCs), and Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) in future inspection visits, noting that such stakeholders could help address some of the challenges identified during the exercise.

Speaking during the meeting, the Education Secretary of Garko LGEA, represented by the Head of Personnel, Malam Abdullahi Umar Maidoki, expressed profound appreciation to the Acting Chairman on behalf of the Education Secretary for the visit, which he described as the first of its kind. He noted that the inspection exercise would further strengthen and reawaken stakeholders toward the effective discharge of their responsibilities in the education sector.

He also pledged the commitment of the LGEA to fully implement all recommendations and observations made during the inspection exercise in order to improve teaching and learning outcomes across the area.
