Kwara Governor AbdulRazaq Promotes 5,956 Education Workers

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved the promotion of 5,956 teaching and non-teaching staff of the State Universal Basic Education Board, with financial benefits effective from October 2026. This decision follows a computer-based test conducted by the board for eligible employees earlier in the month.

The State Universal Basic Education Board oversees basic education programs in public primary and junior secondary schools in Kwara State. Raheem Adaramaja, the board’s Executive Chairman, stated that the promotion letters will be distributed through education secretaries in local government areas.

He emphasized that the promotion exercise is part of efforts to enhance staff welfare and service delivery in public basic schools. Adaramaja noted that Governor AbdulRazaq has consistently implemented promotions since 2017 and has addressed promotion arrears from the previous administration.

He highlighted the importance of teachers' welfare in improving student performance and thanked the governor for supporting the board.
