World Teachers’ Day: AbdulRazaq Declares Holiday, Salutes Teachers

Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has approved today as a public holiday for teachers in honour of World Teachers’ Day.

He paid glowing tribute to teachers’ resilience, sacrifice, and devotion, describing them as critical stakeholders in advancing human progress and national development.
