The Principal of GSS Dambatta, Malam Sabo Muhammad Ahmad, has been sacked for allowing final year students writing NECO to go for Eid -el-Kabir holiday.
The Kano state Government has directed the Executive Secretary of the State Senior Secondary Schools Management Board to send his replacement immediately.
The principal has been directed to report to the ministry on Monday for further directives.
The spokesperson of the state ministry of education, Aliyu Yusuf, announced this in a statement on Saturday.
He said the principal was sacked for his inability to retain the 300 students writing NECO Examinations in his school despite the circular released to all Principals/ Directors to that effect.
The statement said he reluctantly released all the students and also traveled to his hometown possibly for Sallah’s break without informing the ministry.
This action is a portrayal of laxity, betrayal of trust reposed in him, insubordination and gross misconduct, said the statement.
Kano State Government had earlier directed all boarding schools to retain in school, their students writing NECO Examinations with adequate and special feeding arrangements including purchase of 19 cows as a special gesture for Sallah.
