In keeping with his promise made during the budget presentation earlier on Monday, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has granted 27.5 Teachers Specific Allowance (TSA) for teachers throughout the state.

The governor ordered that the allowance be given to teachers starting in January 2026.

Under CONKWESS I, instructors with TRCN certification are eligible for a 27.5% allowance throughout the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) and State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), whereas those without TRCN are eligible for a 21% allowance.

The governor praised teachers for their efforts in nation-building and once again recognized their vital role and dedication to the education sector.
