Kwara State Government has said it has concluded plans to penalise 25 primary school teachers over alleged absenteeism.

Already, the affected teachers have been ordered to report at the State Universal Basic Education Board, KWSUBEB, headquarters, Ilorin for questioning.

The chairman of the board, Alhaji Lanre Daibu spoke on the issue in Ilorin, yesterday, in an interview with newsmen  shortly after visiting some primary schools in the state.

He said the affected teachers were discovered during the unscheduled visit to both primary and junior secondary schools in Ifelodun and Ilorin East local government councils of the state.

He added that he was disturbed when he noticed that students were roaming about the streets of the affected local government councils when they were supposed to be in their various classes.

Daibu expressed disappointment with the nonchalant attitude of teachers to work and warned that the state government would no longer condone indolence as it would deal appropriately with anyone found wanting.

He said the teachers were expected to be effective in their duties as government had taken significant steps towards improving their welfare to boost their morale.
