COVID-19: SSS Shuts School, Sacks Teachers

*We Do Not Own Schools Where 100 Teachers Were Purportedly Sacked ― SSS

Following what it described as the effect of COVID-19 on the Nigerian economy, particularly its crippling financial situation on the school, the Department of State Services (DSS) has sacked the teachers and other staff members of its Community Staff Schools, Asokoro (CSSA), Abuja.

The secret police has also shut down the institution and directed the pupils in the nursery, primary and secondary classes to stay at home for two weeks.

The primary school commenced in 1992/93, while the secondary classes took off in 1998.

It was gathered that the fee for the nursery and primary classes was increased from N25,000 to N35,000 for children and wards of the rank and file, while children of senior DSS officers were required to pay N45,000 up from N35,000 per term.

However, for children of civilians, the tuition was increased from N45,000 to N60,000.

The tuition for secondary school classes was increased from 35,000 to 45,000 for children and wards of the rank and file, while officers’ children were asked to pay N60,000 up from 40,000.

But students who did not fall in either of the categories will pay N90,000 from N70,000.

In the letter of disengagement dated November 2, 2020, signed by the Executive Secretary, CSSA, M. Onyilo, the DSS hinged its decision to sack the school staff on poor financial situation brought about by the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation’s economy.

The letter was titled: ‘Disengagement from the service of Community Staff Schools, Asokoro.”

It reads partly: “Due to the effect of COVID-19 on the Nigerian economy vis-a-vis the crippling financial situation of the school, I am directed to convey the Director-General, State Services/Proprietor’s approval to disengage you from the services of the school with effect from 3rd November 2020.”

It was however learnt that the workers had in 2018 dragged the school management to the National Industrial Court (NIC) demanding better conditions of service, which the court okayed but the DSS failed to obey the court judgment.

We Do Not Own Schools Where 100 Teachers Were Purportedly Sacked ― SSS

The Department of Security Services (DSS) on Tuesday distanced itself from the ownership of the primary and secondary schools, Community Staff Schools, Asokoro, Abuja, where 100 teachers were reportedly sacked on Monday by its management.

Reacting to some online publications on the purported sack in Abuja on Tuesday, the spokesperson of the service, Dr Peter Afunanya to the Tribune Online that “the school is autonomous and not run by the service as being alleged.”

According to him, the school has an “independent board that takes decisions for it. It has no link with the service.”

Afunaya said: “Though I may not be speaking for the school, I, however, learnt that no single staff was dismissed. I was also told that the school will be cutting short its earlier two weeks break to resume on Thursday, November 5, 2020, that’s all that I can say for now.”

When the Tribune Online visited the school on Tuesday for further investigation, it was discovered that the school was on a two-week break.

A staff who identified herself as a senior administrative officer told our reporter that she was not aware of the sack and that the school would resume from its short break on Thursday.

The online reports had claimed that the staff were laid off for allegedly joining the Nigeran Union of Teachers (NUT).

    question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I
    was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    mind before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts
    in getting my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out
    how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thanks!

  36. What you posted made a bunch of sense. However, think
    about this, suppose you added a little content?

    I ain’t suggesting your content isn’t good., but suppose you added a title that makes people want more?
    I mean COVID-19: SSS Shuts School, Sacks Teachers – Law and Society Magazine.
    is a little plain. You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create news titles to get
    people interested. You might add a related video or a related picture or two
    to get people excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion,
    it would bring your posts a little livelier.
