Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has approved the 2024 cash backing for 3,594 teaching and non-teaching staff of the State’s Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), the Executive Chairman of the commission, Mallam Bello Tauheed Abubakar, has announced.

 

Speaking on Monday at the TESCOM headquarters in Ilorin, Bello described the approval as a reflection of the governor’s commitment to improving teachers’ welfare across the state.
