Highlighting the potential impact, he mentioned an estimated 140,000 students poised to benefit in the inaugural year, urging eligible students to prepare their applications upon the scheme’s launch.

“We anticipate a brief delay of days, at most weeks, before the program commences. The president remains dedicated to this endeavour, ensuring its successful rollout,” Echono affirmed.

He underscored the scheme’s inclusivity, extending support beyond traditional academic paths to encompass vocational studies, promising transformative opportunities.

Governor Abdulrazaq expressed gratitude for TETFund’s contributions to higher education in Kwara State and urged further assistance, particularly for colleges of education.

“We acknowledge TETFund’s significant role in bolstering educational infrastructure. However, challenges persist, notably in management and infrastructure. We seek continued collaboration to address these issues,” Governor Abdulrazaq stated.
