Musa Ahmed, the Principal of Government Day Secondary School and a Senior Master, Adamu Shehu have been demoted by the Bauchi State Teachers Service Commission due to allegation of gross misconduct.
This disclosure was contained in a statement released by Dahiru Adamu, the information officer of the commission in Bauchi on Thursday.
The information officer noted that the sanction was approved after the commission conducted a thorough investigation into the matter.
He explained that the two were found culpable for conniving and selling off some properties of the school without authorisation from the state Ministry of Education.
“They sold 32 scrapped students 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.
According to Dahiru Adamu, the two officers are mandated to make refunds amounting to N597, 000, covering the cost of the items sold.
It was also recommended that the principal should make of #72,000 to cover the outstanding allowance of casual workers he engaged for the school.
