Just In: Kaduna serves eviction notice to Rimi College teachers living in govt quarters

Must read

The teachers of Rimi College, previously St. John’s College, who are living in government quarters have been instructed to vacate the quarters within three weeks.

With Nigeria struggling economically and experiencing high rates of inflation under the present government, this decision comes at a terrible moment for the teachers.

Further aggravating the problem is the administration led by Governor Uba Sani’s failure to pay teachers’ wages.

According to a document that SaharaReporters was able to obtain on Friday, “Notices To Vacate Government Quarter For Renovation,” which was signed by Principal Mohammad Danlami Ibrahim and dated August 8, 2024, staff members are expected to make their own arrangements and no other accommodations will be offered.

The letter partly reads: “I am directed to serve this letter to you as a formal notice to vacate the government quarter No:….allocated to you at Rimi College, on or before 3 weeks at the receipt of this letter.

“The quarter is scheduled for renovation, and your occupation is hindering the planned work.

“You are required to: Vacate the quarter on or before 3 weeks at the receipt of this letter.

“Remove all personal belongings. Return the keys to the school principal.”

It warned that failure to comply with “this notice may lead to legal action against you”.

The teachers were also warned that failure to comply may lead to “forfeiture of any personal property remaining on the premises” and “deduction from your salary or benefit.”

It added, “Please note that alternative accommodation will not be provided, and you are requested to make your arrangement.”

According to accounts, Governor Sani is attempting to force the teachers out of their quarters to give the land and assets to his political allies.

“Uba Sani is trying to evict teachers while he remains an absentee governor. He is always in Abuja.

“All the roads and infrastructure done by last government are now destroyed. Dirt has returned everywhere in Kaduna,” one of the sources said, adding that “in someone’s words we are not sure we have a governor”.

“Now he does not pay teachers and despite inflation he wants to evict them from their quarters so that he will allocate the lands and properties to his political rats,” one of the sources said.
