A teacher at Government Day Secondary School Sankalawa in
Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State has allegedly
flogged a student to death.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the incident was
revealed on Wednesday by Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar-Gummi, Deputy
Speaker of the State House of Assembly.
The deputy speaker, who spoke under matters of urgent public
importance during the assembly’s sitting in Gusau, said that the
house had received several reports on the issue.
According to him, another incident at Government Female Day
Secondary School, Kwatarkwashi, had led to the injury of a student
in the school after the Vice Principal allegedly subjected her to
heavy punishment.
Gummi said: “These problems apart from discouraging our children
from acquiring education, also revealed poor attitude to work on
the part of teachers in this state.”
He urged the House to invite the Commissioner for Education,
Science and Technology to explain steps taken to address the
issues.
The Speaker, Alhaji Sanusi Rikiji, described the actions of the
teachers as unfortunate and vowed that the assembly would not allow
the matter to pass.
“It is part of our responsibilities to ensure effective security
and good learning atmosphere for our children for their future
development, therefore, we cannot allow teachers to continue
harassing our children from schools,” he said.
The Speaker directed the House Committee on Education, Science
and Technology to invite the commissioner to appear before it on
the matter.
Meanwhile, the Assembly has passed into law the bill for the
establishment of Zamfara State University, Talata-Mafara.
