The Kwara State Governor in North Central Nigeria, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved 27.5 Teachers Specific Allowance (TSA) across the state, giving effect to his pledge at the budget presentation earlier on Monday.
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.
