The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) has ranked Kwara the lowest among states on the chart of UBEC Matching Grant Disbursement Performance as of April 30, 2019. Ogun and Kwara were listed as non-performing having accessed only 53 per cent of their N12.04billion in UBEC. Reacting to the rating, the Chief Press Secretary to Gov AbdulRazaq Abdulrahman, Rafiu Ajakaye said he was not surprised that Kwara was rated lowest in UBEC performance chart. Ajakaye said the chart clearly vindicated the governor’s allegation that N1.5billion UBEC fund was diverted under the administration of Abdulfatah Ahmed. This is the legacy of the former governor and the PDP administration in Kwara State,” Ajakaye said.
