The Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has suspended the chairman and board members of the Nasarawa State Teachers Service Commission over the unapproved employment of over 1,000 teachers by the commission.
The governor had previously directed that only duly recruited teachers should receive their full entitlements.

This was contained in a statement made by his assistant on social media, Godwin Rimi, on Monday in Lafia, the state capital.
The suspension was prompted by public outcry over allegations of non-payment of salaries.
