Almajiri Commission Rocked by Corruption Allegations: Group Demands Probe, ES's Removal"




WWN

The Yobe Transparency and Advocacy Group has accused Dr. Muhammad Sani Idris, Executive Secretary of the Almajiri and Children Out of School Commission, of corruption and mismanagement. 

The group alleges Idris is diverting funds meant for Almajiri welfare for personal political ambitions, specifically his 2027 gubernatorial bid in Yobe State.

Allegations include:

- Embezzlement of funds
- Refusal to employ professional staff
- Nepotism and favoritism
- Engagement of disengaged NBAIS staff for personal gain

The group demands Idris's removal and a thorough investigation by anti-graft agencies, citing ongoing probes by ICPC and EFCC. 

The commission's mandate to address Almajiri issues is being undermined, and the group urges President Bola Tinubu to intervene.

Dr. Idri's alleged unapproachability has sparked concerns about accountability and transparency in government.

 His reported behavior has been described as "harsh" and "high-handed," with sources stating he doesn't listen to people.

Efforts to contact the executive secretary, regarding allegations have been unsuccessful. Sources claim he doesn't answer calls or respond to text messages.

He dared the Bauchi Chief Security Adviser to an open interview in one of TV stations in the country to unravel the truth of what happened in both EFCC and the Bauchi State Government House.
