Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has approved the immediate suspension of the Executive Secretary of the state’s Post Primary Schools Management Board, Mr Birsan Penuel, over alleged irregularities in the discharge of his official responsibilities.
The suspension is intended to allow for a thorough investigation into the matter, with the most senior Director in the Board directed to take over its affairs in the interim and ensure the uninterrupted continuation of its activities.
The Governor said his administration remains committed to sanitising and repositioning the education sector for improved service delivery, citing measures over the past seven years including the recruitment of qualified teachers and rehabilitation of classrooms.
Fintiri said these steps had helped reverse negative trends that once plagued the sector, reiterating his determination to build a functional, effective and credible post primary education system in the state.
He said he would not hesitate to take necessary steps, no matter how tough, to protect the integrity of the system and ensure children receive the quality education they deserve.
The government warned all political appointees and public officers to uphold due process, transparency and accountability in the discharge of their responsibilities, stressing that any act undermining progress made in the education sector would be dealt with decisively.
The suspension signals a firm stance from the administration as it continues efforts to strengthen accountability within the state’s education management structures.
