Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has inaugurated a four-member committee to investigate allegations surrounding the recent recruitment of teachers by the Nasarawa State Teachers’ Service Commission (NSTSC) across the state’s 13 local government areas.

The inauguration ceremony was held at the Government House in Lafia, the state capital. Addressing the committee, Governor Sule emphasized the need for diligence, impartiality, and transparency in their assignment. He urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them by delivering an unbiased and thorough investigation.

The governor expressed concern over reports that government officials involved in the recruitment process exceeded the approved number of teachers, prompting the immediate suspension of the NSTSC chairman and its members.

“This situation is worrisome and capable of tarnishing the image of the government and the state if left unchecked. It is imperative to ensure accountability, transparency, and due diligence in the conduct of government affairs,” Governor Sule stated.

He explained that the committee’s mandate is to ascertain the veracity of the allegations and provide recommendations to address the issue.
