Kwara Governor AbdulRazaq Set To Commission Multi-billion Naira Smart School In Katsina

Kwara Governor AbdulRazaq set to commission multi-billion naira Smart School in Katsina Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, is set to commission a multi-billion naira Model Smart School located in Radda community, Charanchi Local Government Area of Katsina State, as part of ongoing education infrastructure projects in the state. The commissioning forms part of a series of high-profile infrastructure inaugurations being carried out by the Katsina State Government across key sectors including education and road development. The Model Smart School is described as one of the flagship education projects of the Katsina State Government, designed to provide modern, technology-driven learning facilities aimed at improving access to quality education. The facility is part of broader efforts by the state to expand digital learning environments, boarding facilities, and advanced classrooms for students across the region. According to official scheduling, the project will be formally inaugurated by Governor Abdulrazaq in his capacity as Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum NGF. The Katsina State Government has lined up several major projects for commissioning by visiting governors, including roads and other education infrastructure across the state. Governor Abdulrazaq is specifically expected to commission the Smart School in Radda community as part of the multi-day programme of events involving top state executives from across Nigeria. Officials say the visit underscores inter-state collaboration in infrastructure development and highlights education as a key priority in national development efforts. The Smart School initiative is part of Katsina State’s broader plan to strengthen education through modern facilities, digital tools, and improved learning environments. Similar model schools across the state are designed to serve as centres of excellence for students from rural and underserved communities, with a focus on merit-based admission and equal opportunity access. The commissioning is expected to draw attention to ongoing efforts by state governments to invest heavily in education infrastructure, particularly in Northern Nigeria, where access to quality schooling remains a development priority. Governor Abdulrazaq’s participation also reflects his role in coordinating governors’ engagements through the NGF platform.

Officials say the Smart School commissioning will be followed by further project unveilings in the state, as Katsina continues its infrastructure rollout programme ahead of future phases of development.
