Kwara state government has approved the release of N120 million as bail-out funds to four tertiary institutions in the state.
The beneficiaries of the funds are the Colleges of Education in Ilorin, Oro and Lafiagi as well as the College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies, Ilorin.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Tertiary Education, the state commissioner for Tertiary Education, Alabi Afees-Abolore, disclosed that the approval was an intervention to aid the smooth running of the institutions.
”We will recall that several similar interventions of this nature have been witnessed by our Tertiary Institutions since the inception of the current administration led by Gov. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
”This is because the present administration is ready to improve the status of all the citadels of learning”, said the commissioner.
Afees-Abolore charged the institutions to complement the efforts of the government by upgrading their teaching methodology in order to achieve an enhanced qualitative academic service delivery.
He also urged all heads of tertiary institutions to be steadfast and committed to supporting the policy direction of the present administration.
