Yassar said: “The state Commissioner for Education, Umar Doguwa, announced the suspension shortly after visiting the schools between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on Friday and discovered that the affected principals had yet to report to their duty posts.

“From the checks he conducted, all of the three officers have routinely absconded from work on Fridays for quite some time.

“This administration will not condone truancy, lateness or any form of official misconduct, therefore, these principals are suspended forthwith.”
