Kwara State Government Sanctions Teacher for Assaulting NYSC Member

Date: 2024-12-05

The Kwara State Government has taken disciplinary action against a schoolteacher accused of assaulting a female National Youth Service Corps member at Government Day Junior Secondary School, Kulende, Ilorin, as reported by Punch.

The government announced the demotion and transfer of the teacher involved in a joint statement issued on Wednesday by the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa'adatu Modibbo-Kawu, and the Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission, Mallam Tauheed Abubakar.

The incident occurred last Thursday when the corps member visited the school to collect her clearance letter. According to reports, the corps member was assaulted and stripped by some teachers for allegedly failing to greet them properly.

The government's swift action against the teacher is seen as a step in the right direction in promoting discipline and respect for authority in schools.

A statement from the Press Secretary of the Teaching Service Commission, Bola Onile, stated, “The investigative panel found Hajia Hamzat Fatimoh Nike guilty of fighting on duty, using foul language, insubordination, and disrespecting the national identity represented by the corps members' uniform.

“Her actions contravene public service rules. She has been demoted by two grade levels, transferred out of the school, and will undergo counselling sessions.

“The state government will not tolerate abuse of any kind. We deeply regret the teacher's behaviour and assure the NYSC management that this does not reflect the values of the people of Kwara State. Such incidents will not be allowed to recur.”

The statement urged teachers in the state to remain law-abiding and to carry out their duties in line with established procedures. It also reassured the public of the government's commitment to improving training on teaching ethics and service standards.

Following the incident, the National Youth Service Corps withdrew all corps members posted to both the junior and senior arms of the school. The NYSC State Public Relations Officer, Oladipo Morakinyo, confirmed the temporary withdrawal, stating that it was done to protect the corps members from further harm.
