The current industrial action in Kwara State Colleges of Education may soon end, as Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved immediate payment of N250m for at least two months of their outstanding salaries.
AbdulRazaq also assured the colleges of subsequent prompt payment of their salaries along with gradual offset of the arrears inherited from the previous administration under which the schools began the strike.
“The total amount the governor released for salary payment is N250.7m. This covers salaries for the months of May and June.
