Nasarawa: Governor Sule urges legal action to curb corruption in teaching appointments

Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has called on applicants to take legal action against any official of the state Teachers’ Service Commission, TSC, who allegedly collected bribes in exchange for teaching appointments.

Speaking on Tuesday, Governor Sule expressed dismay over reports that some individuals paid money for teaching positions and accused TSC officials of contributing to inefficiencies in the state’s education system.

“This is the most terrible thing I have heard,” the governor said. “If anybody has collected their money or anything, they can take them to court.

“I don’t think this is good. I don’t think this is fair. It is unfair to me, as my name is being scandalised for something I have no knowledge of,” Sule stated.

The governor noted that despite an approved recruitment of 1,000 teachers, many rural schools remain understaffed, with some having only two or three teachers.

He attributed part of the issue to teachers preferring to stay in urban areas rather than being posted to villages.

DAILY POST recalls that in response to the allegations, Governor Sule had announced the suspension of the entire TSC and the formation of a three-member investigative committee to uncover the truth.

“We have no other choice than to suspend the entire TSC and put up a committee to investigate them. They will remain suspended until we get the true situation of things,” Sule stated.

The Israel Defense Forces, IDF, and Shin Bet have confirmed the killing of Abd al-Hadi Sabah, a commander in Hamas’s elite Nukhba force, who played a key role in the October 7, 2023, attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz.

The strike targeted Sabah in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza, within an Israeli-designated humanitarian zone.

The IDF stated that Sabah, who commanded the Nukhba platoon in Hamas’s West Khan Younis Battalion, was responsible for leading the invasion of Kibbutz Nir Oz, where dozens of civilians were murdered and kidnapped.

During the ongoing conflict, Sabah was involved in multiple assaults against IDF troops in Gaza. The IDF stated that measures were taken to minimise civilian harm during the strike that eliminated Sabah.

The operation to neutralise Sabah is part of a broader effort by the Shin Bet and IDF to identify and eliminate all perpetrators of the October 7 attacks, which marked one of the deadliest days in Israel’s history.

Images of Sabah, released by the IDF, show him during the assault on October 7. The military’s campaign against Hamas continues as Israel seeks to dismantle the organisation’s military infrastructure in Gaza.
