The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Kwara State Chapter, has formally appealed to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to approve the long-standing demands for 27.5% and 21% Teachers Specific Allowances (TSA) without alteration or delay.

In a letter dated 10th September 2025 (Ref: NUT/KWSN/GH/004/VOL 4/60), signed by State Chairman Comrade Yusuf Wahab Agboola and Deputy Secretary General Moni Mike Modesty Itua, the union urged the governor to use his executive authority to implement the allowances promptly.
