AbdulRazaq Allocates N20 Billion in Supplementary Budget to Boost Kwara Schools
In a significant move aimed at revitalizing the education sector, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has allocated N20 billion to schools in the recently approved supplementary budget. The allocation, which is part of a broader strategy to upgrade infrastructure and enhance learning environments across the state, reflects the administration’s ongoing commitment to education reform.
According to government sources, the funds will be channeled into the renovation and construction of classrooms, provision of teaching materials, recruitment of qualified teachers, and digital transformation of learning in public schools. The supplementary budget, recently passed by the Kwara State House of Assembly, emphasizes the critical role of education in human capital development and economic growth.
“This allocation is a bold step towards fixing the foundational challenges facing our schools,” a senior government official noted. “Governor AbdulRazaq is determined to ensure that every child in Kwara, regardless of their background, has access to quality education in a conducive environment.”
The N20 billion earmarked in the supplementary budget is expected to cover both basic and secondary education projects across urban and rural areas. Stakeholders in the education sector have welcomed the development, describing it as timely and strategic, especially at a time when many public schools are in dire need of rehabilitation and resource upgrades.
This intervention is part of the larger Kwara Education Transformation Agenda (KETA), which aims to reposition the state as a leader in education excellence in Nigeria. Education advocates and community leaders have praised the governor’s proactive approach and called for efficient implementation, transparency, and community involvement in project execution.
With this bold allocation, AbdulRazaq once again reinforces his reputation as a governor who prioritizes the welfare of future generations through sustainable investment in education.
