Principals of Public Secondary Schools in Ekiti State have been warned against violations of laid down rules and involvement in activities that could lead to sanctions in the daily discharge of their duties.

The Permanent Secretary of the State Teaching Service Commission, Mr Mike Omolayo gave the warning at an interactive session with Principals of public secondary schools in Ado Ekiti.

Omolayo said Government would not fold its arms and allow indiscipline and acts of sharp practices in public schools adding that handing-over process among principals should be concluded immediately transfer is effected.

He wondered why handing-over processes would take longer than necessary after posting or retirement of affected personnel, stressing that such an attitude would be sanctioned if discovered.
