Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Tuesday announced one-off payment of N10,000 each to students of Kwara state origin in public-owned tertiary institutions across the country.

 

Rafiu Ajakaye, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, announced this in statement issued on Tuesday in Ilorin.

 

The governor also approved a stipend of N10,000 each for some categories of security agents defined as the first line of defence, which would be disbursed through the Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) Office.

 

“The approval for students’ support, described as one-off in its scope, is a departure from the previous bursary award, which covered only final year students of tertiary schools.
