President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Thursday, declared the determination of his administration to ensure teachers get their due reward.
He regretted the challenges confronting Nigerian teachers, including overcrowded classrooms, scarce resources, and limited opportunities for professional development, which he said are the result of prolonged neglect of the noble profession.
The President made the promise on Thursday during the 2023 World Teachers’ Day commemoration at Eagle Square, Abuja.
President Tinubu who was represented by his deputy, Vice President Kashim Shettima, noted that Nigeria’s future can only be safeguarded by investing in education, empowering the teachers and providing every child with the tools to reach their dream destination.
Delivering the President’s keynote address titled, “Teacher Appreciation: Nurturing Minds, Changing Lives,” VP Shettima said, “Our commitment to actualising our education reforms is to drive the emergence and sustenance of a system that recognises that education is the mother of new ideas and groundbreaking discoveries”.
