The Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, yesterday approved a 27.5 per cent teachers’ specific allowance (TSA) for teachers across the state, giving effect to his pledge made at the budget presentation earlier in the day.
The governor’s chief press secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, broke the cheery news in a statement.
Ajakaye said the governor directed that teachers should enjoy the allowance effective from January 2026.
“The 27.5% allowance applies to TRCN-certificated teachers across Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) and State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) under CONKWESS I, while 21% applies to those without TRCN.
“The governor again acknowledged the indispensable role and commitment of the teachers to the education sector, commending them for their efforts in nation building,” he added.
