Fake Secondary School Uncovered In Yobe 

By Sani Muhammad/ Damaturu

A fake secondary school with ghost workers on government’s pay roll has been discovered following civil servants’ verification exercise embarked upon by the Yobe State government, Governor Mamman Ali has revealed.

The governor made the disclosure while addressing lawmakers at the Yobe State House of Assembly Damaturu, the state’s capital.

Ali said that a school which never existed was discovered, adding that the school even has “a ghost principal and other key officers as well as hundreds of students.”

The governor regretted that “some unpatriotic elements in the Ministry of Education as well as the Ministry of Finance created the ghost school which they used as conduit for siphoning money belonging to the government.”

He disclosed that a Government Secondary School was duplicated and another school named Government Science Secondary School was created even though only the first school exists, maintaining that “the two have the same nomenclature.

“Honourable Speaker, it will shock you to hear that a school in Fune Local Government, precisely Government Science Secondary School, Damagum was duplicated into two schools.

“All the teaching and non teaching staff of the school were transferred to the fake school. The same salary spent on the original school was also paid to the duplicated school. This is criminal,” the governor declared.

Governor Ali announced that the activities of the corrupt officials will not deter him from fishing out the ghost workers and completely sanitising the system.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Sidi Yakubu Karasuwa informed P.M.News that his ministry has beamed its searchlight on the UBE schools to come up with a realistic number of existing primary and secondary schools in the state.

Karasuwa condemned a situation where Junior Day Secondary Schools were established with existing primary schools to sustain them.

“Most of the Junior Day Secondary Schools that were established were unnecessary. How can you establish a secondary school where there are no primary schools to sustain such a school?” he queried.

He stated further that some of the schools were fake and non existent, while vowing that all the fake schools and fake staff of his ministry will be dislodged.
