8 Shortlisted Teachers Fail Drug Test In Kwara - Education - Nairaland 5b4k54

8 Shortlisted Teachers Fail Drug Test In Kwara (7831 Views)

adenigga(m): 6:48am On Apr 15

Eight candidates shortlisted for teaching jobs by the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) have been disqualified after testing positive for banned substances.

They were among 1,800 candidates selected for recruitment. Their disqualification automatically grants the opportunity to the next best-performing candidates in their respective local government areas.

TESCOM chairman, Bello Taoheed Abubakar, disclosed the development in a statement on Monday.

He said the substances detected include benzodiazepine, tramadol, cotinine, marijuana and amphetamine — all considered harmful to human health.

The tests were conducted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) with full backing from Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

“A major implication of this development is that the affected individuals will be replaced by the next most qualified candidates. The goal is to send a clear message about the state government’s zero tolerance for drug abuse,” Abubakar stated.

He commended the governor for ensuring that recruitment into the teaching profession is based strictly on merit and free from any malpractice that could compromise education quality.

Most teachers in that part of the country are touts. Most of them smoke cannabis and colos. I served in Ekiti State. The principal of the school, Mr Akanbi was a weed smoker.

For you to act aggressive towards me shows that you are taking kolo too,you think some teachers don't abuse their students??

It is a good development, make dey no go beat students brutally or abusing them roughly.

But i think they can also extend the drug test to appointment of commissioners, Ministers and other political positions. Make Nigeria free of been rule by druggies
