The Jigawa State Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and special Duties has confirmed the immediate suspension of Principals following the discovery of a 30% inflation in student headcount.
State Commissioner of the Ministry, Hon. Auwal D. Sankara (Fica), disclosed this when he led a follow-up monitoring exercise of school feeding at the Girls Model Boarding School, Kudai, in Dutse LGA.
He said the visit was aimed at verifying compliance with the new quality standards established after the suspension of erring contractors on January 7th.
It was reported that, Jigawa State Government has suspended contractors over alleged supplying substandard food items.
The Ministry however directed Vice-Principal of the school to serve in an acting capacity pending the posting of a permanent replacement by the relevant authorities.
He said, the move serves as a clear signal that school administrators will be held just as accountable as contractors for any discrepancies in student records or welfare management.
Hon. Auwal D. Sankara reiterated that the Ministry will not relent in its mission to protect the integrity of Governor Danmodi’s 12-Point Agenda.
According to him “Our visit today proves that we are not just making temporary changes; we are instituting a permanent culture of excellence”
“Any school administrator or contractor found sabotaging the feeding program is an enemy of the state’s progress. We will continue our unannounced visits across the state. No one is untouchable when it comes to the welfare of our children.”
He therefore urged parents, students, and community members to remain vigilant and report any observed lapses in the school feeding program to ensure the continued success of these reforms.
