Ilorin, Feb. 13, 2023 – The Kwara State Government has offered 50 per cent transport support to Kwara students returning home from tertiary institutions to observe the three-week break ahead of the elections.

”I appreciate the efforts of the AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-led administration for considering students welfare with utmost priority.
“The 50 per cent subsidy is meant to augment transportation fares for students returning to Kwara,” the statement said. (GBN)
