Olohungbebe said the government has taken adequate measures to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment in schools across the state. He commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s continued investment in the education sector, which he said has translated into improved learning outcomes and better welfare for teachers.
“A review of the previous academic year has been undertaken, and areas requiring more attention have been identified. As a government, we reassure all stakeholders, including our partners, of our commitment to uninterrupted education for all learners in Kwara State,” the commissioner stated.
