The issue of abolishing WhatsApp groups in our schools is misconstrued

It is aimed to curtail insubordination between school authority and staffers

However, we wish to make it emphatically clear that staff will be held responsible for whatever he or she writes on social media platforms

Thank You

The Katsina State Ministry of Education has informed all principals to direct the various group admin in their respective schools to wipe out the so-called school WhatsApp.


The abolishing of this group becomes necessary due to the various posting being made which create problems and insubordination between the school authority and staff

Principals should also remind their staff about the Government Circular that prohibit any civil servant from commenting positively or negatively on Government activities on Facebook or Whatsapp.
