Kano education ministry warns staff against extortion

The Kano State Ministry of Education has warned its staff to desist from collecting or giving money in the name of posting for selfish reason.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Umar Doguwa, gave the warning on Wednesday in Kano, while addressing Senior Staff of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) shortly after a management meeting.

Doguwa said that corruption had remained one of the key factors undermining progress of education sector in any society.

He pointed out that it was time to shun the unlawful act and collaborate in promoting the sector.

He stressed that the state government would deal with any staff of the ministry found thwarting its effort towards revamping education sector in the state.

The commissioner, who noted that Kano and its people were the main focus of the present administration, called on the staff to work hard to join the crusade towards achieving the set objectives.

” We are not here to make money rather to make Kano great; so government will not take it lightly with any staff found collecting or giving money for posting as such person will be dismissed from work.

” I urge you to redouble your efforts in discharging your duty, avoid being partisan and this government is ready to welcome any staff willing to help in promoting the education sector,” he assured.

Earlier, the Executive Chairman, SUBEB, Malam Kabiru Yusuf, commended Gov. Abba Kabir -Yusuf for giving all the necessary support to the Board which according to him, has progressively changed its operation.

The SUBEB boss assured the commissioner of the staff continued commitment towards ensuring success of primary education in the state.
