Today, we celebrate the dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment of Nigerian teachers on World Teachers’ Day. As we honor their contributions to shaping young minds, we acknowledge the vital role they play in transforming lives and driving economic and social development ¹.
The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Gombe State Council, salutes the teaching profession for its tireless efforts in providing quality education, despite the challenges faced. We recognize the impact of teachers on promoting peace, tolerance, and social inclusion, and their role in helping children and young people fulfill their potential.
Appreciation and Support
As we celebrate World Teachers’ Day, we urge governments, policymakers, and stakeholders to prioritize the welfare and development of teachers. This includes providing quality training, better working conditions, and competitive salaries to attract and retain the best talent.
To all Nigerian teachers, we express our deepest gratitude for your selfless service. Your dedication to educating future generations is invaluable, and we recognize the profound impact you have on shaping the minds of tomorrow’s leaders.
Call to Action
Let us work together to create an environment that values and supports teachers. We must address the challenges facing the teaching profession and prioritize education as a fundamental human right.
Once again, we celebrate Nigerian teachers on this special day.
