About N597,000 is to be returned into the coffers of the Bauchi state by the Principal of Government Day Secondary School, Kirfi and one other teacher who have been indicted for selling school property worth the amount without the permission of the State government.
This was disclosed by the overseeing Permanent Secretary of the State Teachers’ Service Commission, Garba Muhammad Bashe, who said a committee of the Commission, had found the two officers guilty of the allegations.
He said that after a thorough investigation of the offences leveled against the principal, Musa Ahmed Ningi and a senior master, Adamu Shehu indicted them of gross misconduct and therefore removed.
He said that the two officers will refund the sum of N597,000, the value of the vandalised and sold items.
The panel also recommended that the removed and demoted principal would refund the sum of N72,000 to settle the allowances of casual workers of the school he owed.
“The Commission has therefore approved the demotion of the two officers by one grade and will be posted to other different schools to teach.”
The Commission said that the two teachers were found culpable of conniving with each other and sold some properties of the school without authorisation from the Ministry of Education.
Ningi and Shehu were accused of selling 32 student beds, nine jumbo aluminum pots and an unspecified number of roofing zinc.
The Commission pledged to collaborate with the security agencies to recover the vandalised items.
