A messenger, Malam Abubakar Shu’aibu, 45, of Government Secondary School, Aminu Marmara, Sabongari Zaria, Kaduna State, on Tuesday slumped into coma shortly after receiving his sack letter.

A credible witness confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in the area on condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation.

The source said the incident happened Tuesday morning shortly after the affected person received his sack letter.

He said that the messenger had served the state for about 11 years.

“We reported to work this morning and Abubakar Shu’aibu was invited to Zonal Education Office; on reaching there, they served him with a sack letter.

“When he returned to the school, he showed us the letter and we all advised him to see it as an act of God Almighty as nothing happens to a person without the consent of God.

“He also admitted that that’s what God had destined for him, but all of a sudden, the man collapsed and went into coma instantly.

“We acted very fast by giving him a first aid. We took him up and lie him down on the floor, fanning him continuously and he gradually regained his consciousness,’’ he said.

The source added that teachers present at the scene of the incident converged and took a decision to mobilise something from their salary to empower him economically.

The source also said that the teachers begged the school principal, Malam Sa’idu Liman-Umar, to consider employing the sacked messenger as a temporary worker to cushion the effect for the meantime.

“The principal agreed to render possible assistance as the case may be,’’ said the source.

Officials in the Zonal Education Office in Zaria declined comment, saying that they were not directed to speak to the press.

Also the state Ministry of Education and the state government is yet to react to the development.

NAN recalls that Governor Nasiru El-Rufa’i had directed that all messengers, cleaners and drivers who spent 10 years in service without obtaining at least a Diploma or NCE should be sacked.

What's your point?

His disengagement from work killed him?

Please how did Sia Baba come into what I just read now? Or did the man vote for Buhari?
I just want to relate the topic with the content of the write up.

What would messanger and cleaners be needing diplomas and NCE for? Was the state government planning to convert them to teachers or create some kind of career path that would require higher degrees? Did the state government offer them scholarships and grants with which to pursue these higher degrees?

The governor is only looking for a way to lay off staff. How much is their salary to take care of their family and still pursue the requested certificate. Our leaders are just wicked.

I-Pig.

I'm NOT a writer,that attachment to my signature is for a colleague.

Even a deranged fool like you with no concrete success story has the temerity to term someone "insane",you are a waste of matter and a sack of beans is worthier than your existence.

Phuçk off!

were ni iya e, ibanuje lo je fun awujo!

He fainted cos he remembers he "sayed Baba"

El Rufai is really pushing this to the extreme. Why would peanut earners like messengers or cleaners mandated to get diploma or NCE?

When sane countries try as much as they can to retain small jobs, ours are killing them without knowing that those little jobs drive the economy.

If that had died, walahi that individual who served him that sacked letter should have been arrested and sued for involuntary manslaughter.

Don't blame the nigga for subconsciously wishing to die, cos load wey these northerners dey carry no be small. That messenger who may be on a meagre salary of maybe 20k would have 4 wives he is cruising and average of 20 "childrens" under this current hardship. Sometimes I wonder how these peeps do it .

We are suffering, but the elites who should complain are mute.

He was hit by the caterpillar of CHANGE, Hehehe U can now start shouting sai baba in hell with Abacha

How e no go slump?

When he probably has 3 wives and 11 kids to share his minimum wage?

Na to slump sure pass!

But e must still wake face life sha.

Its nt even as if they were paying him well. Now the little he was seeing will stop coming in.
