Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has declared zero tolerance for teacher absenteeism in public primary schools as part of sweeping reforms to transform the state\u2019s basic education sector.<\/p>\n
Speaking through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Mr. Peter Ahemba, during a press briefing in Lafia on Thursday, July 10, 2025, the Governor warned that teachers and staff who abandon their duty posts would face immediate dismissal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny teacher who is not ready to work should resign or be shown the way out,\u201d Sule stated, emphasizing that \u201cit is no longer business as usual.\u201d<\/p>\n
The firm directive reinforces the authority of the newly appointed Executive Chairman of the Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board (NSUBEB), Kassim Mohammed, whom the Governor described as \u201cyoung, vibrant, and reform-driven.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mohammed is already leading initiatives aimed at restoring discipline, strengthening accountability, and rebuilding public trust in the state\u2019s foundational education system.<\/p>\n
In addition to cracking down on truancy, Governor Sule has approved the recruitment of 4,700 new teachers across the state to address pressing staff shortages and improve learning outcomes.<\/p>\n
The administration\u2019s dual approach, firm enforcement of discipline and bold investment in human capital, marks what officials have called an \u201ceducation revolution,\u201d one designed to reposition Nasarawa as a model of excellence in basic education in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Governor Sule reiterated his administration\u2019s unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child in Nasarawa has access to quality education delivered by dedicated and accountable teachers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
