A classroom teacher in Kebbi State, Abduljalal Usman, has reportedly been suspended for three months without salary after rejecting a Ramadan palliative allegedly distributed by the state government.
The teacher allegedly declined one mudu of maize and one mudu of millet and openly criticized what he described as poor governance in the state.
The suspension, reportedly under the administration of Nasir Idris, has drawn public criticism. Many commentators describe the move as an attempt to silence dissent and punish a public worker for speaking out.
Critics argue that educators deserve better working conditions, fair compensation, and respect, rather than facing disciplinary action for expressing their views.

Under the leadership of @NasiridrisKG, the Kebbi State Government is now punishing teachers for refusing humiliation and for criticizing the weaponization of poverty.
This is bias, incompetence, and total abuse of power. Teachers deserve dignity, fair pay, and respect—not intimidation for speaking the truth.
Surprisingly, the governor was once a classroom teacher.”
