Sokoto State suspended six principals over alleged misconduct, including illegal exam fee collection.

The Sokoto State Government has suspended six secondary school principals over allegations of misconduct, including unauthorized fee collection for Junior Secondary School exam results. The principals, from schools like Nana Girls Secondary School and Government Day Secondary Schools, were suspended by Commissioner Prof. Ahmad Ladan Ala, who also established a five-member investigative committee to examine the claims. The panel includes representatives from key education and oversight bodies. Suspended principals must hand over duties to vice principals immediately. The move underscores the ministry’s commitment to discipline, transparency, and accountability in public schools.
