He also mentions Kano State’s effort to pay registration fees for its indigenes, further emphasizing the importance of supporting education during challenging economic times.

By advocating for a reduction in tuition fees for state-owned tertiary institutions in Kwara State, Togun believes that Governor Abdulrahman can significantly alleviate the financial strain on students and promote equitable access to quality education. He acknowledges the complexities of governance but urges the governor to carefully consider this matter and take action.

Togun concludes his letter by commending Governor Abdulrahman for the palliative measures already implemented to mitigate the impact of the fuel subsidy removal and economic challenges on the people of Kwara State. He expresses hope that the governor will consider his plea and make a meaningful difference in the lives of students and families affected by the current economic conditions.

The call for a review of tertiary education fees in Kwara State resonates with many residents who hope for increased access to affordable education amidst economic uncertainties.
