Kwara State Teachers Appeal Reinstatement After Disengagement
What happened
Wasiu Yunusa, Deputy Coordinator of the Sunset Teachers, held a news conference in Ilorin on October 24, 2026, to appeal for the reinstatement of disengaged teachers. The teachers, who were employed in 2019, were disengaged from the services of the government of Kwara State by the current administration. Of the 2,214 teachers affected, about 1,220 remain disengaged despite having reapplied as directed by the governor.
Why it matters
The appeal directly challenges the current administration's employment decisions in Kwara State. If the government reinstates the teachers, it would impact the state's payroll and labor costs.
