The team, led by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Kubra Imam, discovered that students of the two colleges were not served food on Sunday night and their breakfast for Monday was not ready at the time of the visit.

Kiru stated that the “commissioner expressed dismay over unconcerned attitudes shown by the two principals and therefore directed them to hand over the school affairs to the new sit-in principals and report to the ministry pending an investigation.

“He warned all the school authorities to shun any act that would undermine the present administration’s efforts in reviving the education sector.”

He added that the commissioner has approved the posting of Umar Sabo as sit-in principal for French Bilingual College and Isyaku Abdullahi as sit-in principal for Chinese Bilingual College, Kwankwaso.
