Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. Abel Olumuyiwa Enitan, stressed the importance of collaboration among teachers to enhance learning outcomes nationwide.
He added that collective efforts by educators were crucial to delivering quality education in line with the government’s reform agenda.
Also speaking at the event, Larai Nana Ahmed assured teachers of the Ministry’s unwavering commitment to improving their welfare and working conditions, noting that teachers remain at the centre of national development.
Chief Executive of the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), Dr. Ronke Soyombo, and National President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Comrade Audu Titus Abam, emphasised the need for mentorship, integration of technology into classrooms, and student-centered teaching methods. They both agreed that collaboration is essential to the future of teaching in Nigeria.
As part of efforts to deepen reforms in the education sector, the Federal Government also unveiled the 2025–2027 Communication Strategy, designed to strengthen transparency, accountability, and public trust in education governance.
Speaking on the initiative, Permanent Secretary Abel O. Enitan, represented by Mrs. Obianiuju Anigbogu, described the new strategy as a milestone that institutionalises communication as a tool for effective governance.
Supported by PLANE and the UK International Development, the strategy aims to enhance stakeholder engagement, unify government messaging, and ensure that education policies and reforms are clearly communicated, understood, and accepted by Nigerians.
The event underscored the government’s renewed commitment to raising the status of teachers, modernising the classroom experience, and fostering a more transparent and inclusive education system.
