Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has directed the allocation of N20 billion naira in the supplementary budget for massive upgrade of school infrastructure across the state.
The State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Dr. Lawal Olohungbebe said the new investment would strengthen the standard of public schools.
Dr Olohungbebe noted that already the designs were being made, while others would follow as soon as the supplementary budget is approved.
He described the initiative as another major intervention to scale up the efforts of the administration towards quality education.
According to the Commissioner, the present administration has worked on more than 1,254 classrooms apart from many other special interventions including the SUBEB-UBEC school projects from 2014.
He explained that 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.
