Kwara state government has demoted a secondary school teacher, Hajia Hamzat Fatimoh Nike, by two grade levels, for allegedly assaulting a corps member posted to Government Day Junior Secondary School, Kulende, Ilorin.
Hamzat was found guilty of fighting on duty, use of foul language, insubordination, and disrespect for the national identity that the uniform of the corps members represents.
This is contained in a joint statement issued by the Commissioner of Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo Kawu, and the Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission, Mallam Bello Tauheed Abubakar.
The Press secretary, Kwara Tescom, Sam Bola Onile, made the statement available via the state government X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @followKWSG.
The investigative panel set up on the matter said the teacher’s behavior contravenes public service rules.
According to the statement, the teacher is also to be transferred out of her current school as well as undergo counseling sessions.
“The State Government will not tolerate such abuse under any guise.
The government deeply regrets the action of the teacher and reassures the management of the National Youth Service Corps that the development did not represent the people of the state, and it will not happen again.”
