Kwara State Allocates N20 Billion for School Infrastructure Upgrade in Supplementary Budget
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved the allocation of N20 billion in the state's supplementary budget to accelerate school infrastructure upgrades across all 16 local government areas.
The investment, announced by Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development Dr Lawal Olohungbebe, marks a major expansion of the administration's ongoing education infrastructure drive launched in 2020 following its revitalised partnership with the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC).
Dr Olohungbebe confirmed: "Designs for the new projects are complete, and work will commence immediately after the supplementary budget is approved. This builds on our existing portfolio of over 1,254 classrooms upgraded since 2019."
The Governor's directive reinforces Kwara's commitment to transforming public education infrastructure, with the new funding targeting dilapidated facilities, classroom shortages, and modernisation of learning environments. The initiative aligns with the state's KwaraLEARN agenda to position education as the cornerstone of sustainable development.
He said the administration is proud to have implemented SUBEB-UBEC school intervention projects from 2014 and now a feat that he said is unique to the Abdulrazaq administration.
Olohungbebe said the new intervention, which will also include laboratory and sanitation facilities, targets schools in different parts of the state, complementing the ongoing interventions at SUBEB.
"Despite our huge interventions, we acknowledge that there are still gaps, and that is exactly why His Excellency is approving another special intervention to further close the gaps in school infrastructure," he added.
