KWARA STATE DEMOTES TEACHER FOR ASSAULTING NYSC CORPS MEMBER
Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second
A teacher at Government Day Junior Secondary School in Kulende, Ilorin, has been sanctioned by the Kwara State Government for allegedly beating a female member of the National Youth Service Corps.
The government announced the teacher’s demotion and transfer in a joint statement released on Wednesday by Mallam Tauheed Abubakar, the Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission, and Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu, the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development.
The event happened last Thursday when the corps member went to pick up her clearance letter from the school.
Some professors allegedly undressed her and attacked her for not properly greeting them.
“The investigative panel found Hajia Hamzat Fatimoh Nike guilty of fighting on duty, using foul language, insubordination, and disrespecting the national identity represented by the corps members’ uniform,” said a statement from Bola Onile, the Teaching Service Commission’s press secretary.
“Her actions contravene public service rules. She has been demoted by two grade levels, transferred out of the school, and will undergo counselling sessions.
“The state government will not tolerate abuse of any kind. We deeply regret the teacher’s behaviour and assure the NYSC management that this does not reflect the values of the people of Kwara State. Such incidents will not be allowed to recur.”

The statement urged teachers in the state to remain law-abiding and to carry out their duties in line with established procedures. It also reassured the public of the government’s commitment to improving training on teaching ethics and service standards.
Following the incident, the National Youth Service Corps withdrew all corps members posted to both the junior and senior arms of the school. The NYSC State Public Relations Officer, Oladipo Morakinyo, confirmed the temporary withdrawal, stating that it was done to protect the corps members from further harm.
