A decisive intervention by Minister Nabil Benabdallah saves the Ministry of Education’s private security guard!

The case of the private security guard at the Ministry of National Education in Rabat took a decisive turn following the uproar caused by a widely circulated video clip from the handover ceremony in Salé, which showed the guard strictly enforcing instructions and preventing a delegation of journalists and officials from entering.

Despite the shock caused by the security firm’s arbitrary decision to fire him the following morning, the National Union of Private Security Guards (CDT) took action by issuing a strongly worded statement condemning the decision and demanding that the worker’s dignity be upheld and that he be protected.

Direct communication with the union led to urgent and personal intervention by the new Minister of National Education, Primary Education, and Sports, Mr. Mohamed Nabil Benabdallah, who officially confirmed that the security guard would not be dismissed and would continue to perform his duties as usual at his regular post at the ministry.

This move was widely praised by union leaders and the public, as an act of human justice and a message affirming the protection of workers’ rights and ensuring they are not held accountable for complying with professional guidelines.
