The Commissioner for Education, Science and
Technology, Dr Shehu Adamu, said at a news
briefing in Kaduna on Thursday, that the
officials had circumvented laid down
procedures of the government’s Schools
Feeding Programme, which commenced in
January.
“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.”
