Teacher Suspended In Kebbi State After Rejecting Ramadan Palliative
A classroom teacher in Kebbi State, Abduljalal Usman, has been suspended for three months without pay for refusing a Ramadan palliative offered by the state government.
He declined a mudu each of maize and millet and openly criticized the poor governance in the state.
Online reports confirm that the suspension occurred under Nasir Idris’s administration, drawing criticism from those who see it as an attempt to silence dissent and punish a public servant for speaking out.
Critics emphasize that teachers deserve improved working conditions, fair compensation, and respect not disciplinary actions for expressing their views.
“Abduljalal Usman, a Kebbi classroom teacher, was suspended for three months without salary merely for rejecting a Ramadan palliative of one mudu each of maize and millet, and for criticizing governance.
Under Nasir Idris’s leadership, the Kebbi State Government is clearly punishing teachers for refusing humiliation and criticizing the weaponization of poverty.
Teachers are entitled to dignity, fair pay, and respect not intimidation for speaking the truth.
It is noteworthy that the governor was once a classroom teacher, yet now he undermines educators.
