PDP Condemns Adaramaja's Humiliation Of Teachers In Presence Of Their Students
....Calls on GovernorAbdulrahman to sanction the arrogant SUBEB boss
The Kwara State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is deeply outraged by the disgraceful incident that occurred on Monday at the Government Day Secondary School, Amule, where the Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (KWASUBEB), Professor Raheem Adaramaja, humiliated teachers and forced them — including the school Vice Principal — to sweep the school premises in the full glare of students during a supposed inspection visit.
According to credible eyewitnesses, Adaramaja, acting on the instruction of Governor Abdulrazaq accused the teachers of keeping an unkempt environment, and ordered them to pick up litters within the compound, despite explanations that the students had just returned from break time.
In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, the party said it views Adaramaja's action not as an enforcement of discipline, but as a severe abuse of office and a public degradation of our dedicated educational professionals who are operating under harsh working environments
We ask Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq if this is the new standard for the teaching profession in Kwara? To have a Professor who himself was a teacher before access to public fund, strip teachers of their dignity and compel them to perform tasks that belong to labourers, all in the presence of the students they are meant to inspire?
This act, coming from Adaramaja stands as a symbol of arrogance, insensitivity, and moral bankruptcy that have become the hallmark of the Abdulrazaq-led administration.
Those who rode to power under the Otoge mantra, promising liberation from oppression have suddenly turned into power-drunk oppressors who humiliate the very workers they have failed to support and motivate.
In six years of this government, Kwara teachers are still underpaid, unmotivated and are abandoned. Our schools remain dilapidated, and students learn under shade of trees, yet government officials find pleasure in bullying those striving to sustain the system.
We call on the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), to immediately rise in defense of their members and ensure that the dignity of teachers is never again trampled upon by power-intoxicated government officials.
Adaramaja must immediately issue an unreserved public apology to the teachers of Government Day Secondary School, Amule, and the entire teaching community in Kwara State for his shamless act. We also call on Governor Abdulrahman to publicly condemn this action and sanction the SUBEB Chairman if truly Governor is not in the know of this so that the dignity of civil servants is protected in Kwara State.
Our party reaffirm our solidarity with all teachers and other civil servants across Kwara State who, despite government neglect and humiliation, continue to nurture the minds of our children.
