A chieftain of New Nigeria Peoples Party, (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo has called on both the Federal and the State governments to improve the living conditions of teachers across the country.
He made this declaration via a statement issued to congratulate teachers throughout the world in celebration of this year’s World Teachers’ Day.
Oguntoyinbo who rejoices with the teachers on their special day, October 5th, 2025, dismissed the notion that teachers’ rewards is in heaven.
He said that governments at all level should ensure that teachers are adequately rewarded while on earth.
The NNPP chieftain in a statement made available to Afripost on Sunday said that teachers are the moulders of children lives.
He said the role of the teachers in the life of the youth cannot be overemphasised.
He then urged governments not only to improve the teaching conditions of the children but must ensure that teachers are motivated in their jobs.
According to him, “I rejoice with teachers all over the country as they celebrate their special Day on Sunday October 5, 2025. I used the occasion of the Teachers’ Day to call on both the Federal and State governments to improve the welfare of teachers. Teaching is a noble profession, as everybody would have one time or the other being under the guidance of teachers when they are young.
“Government should make teaching an envious profession by paying teachers adequately and improve both their living as well as working conditions.
“A nation that teachers’ rewards is in heaven is outdated, government should ensure that teachers who are the guidance and counsellor of the youth are adequately rewarded here on earth”.
