Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has approved a 27.5 per cent Teachers’ Specific Allowance (TSA) for teachers across the state, fulfilling his pledge made during the budget presentation earlier on Monday.
This was contained in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mallam Rafiu Ajakeye, on Monday in Ilorin.
The governor directed that teachers should begin to enjoy the allowance from January 2026.
The 27.5 per cent allowance applies to Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN)-certificated teachers across the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) and the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) under CONKWESS I, while a 21 per cent allowance applies to those without TRCN certification.
The governor reiterated the indispensable role and commitment of teachers to the education sector, commending them for their efforts in nation-building.
