Bauchi: School principal, senior master demoted for gross misconduct
The Bauchi State Teachers Service Commission has demoted Musa Ahmed, the principal of Government Day Secondary School, Kirfi, and Adamu Shehu, a senior master, over gross misconduct.
The demotion was announced in a statement by the commission on Thursday. The demotion was approved by the commission after a thorough investigation.
He explained that the two were found culpable for conniving and selling off some properties of the school without authorisation from the Bauchi ministry of education.
“They sold 32 scrapped student beds, nine jumbo aluminum pots, and roofing zinc. The overseeing permanent secretary of the commission, Garba Bashe, had reported that a four-member committee investigated the matter and found the two officers guilty of the allegations.
“The commission has therefore approved the demotion of the two officers by one grade, and they will be posted to different schools to teach,” he said.
The commission also said that the two officers would refund N597,000, which is the value of the sold items.
He also stated that the committee recommended that the principal pay N72,000 to settle the outstanding allowances of the school’s casual workers.
He expressed the commission’s commitment to collaborate with the security agencies to recover the items.
