Earlier, the wife of Kebbi state Governor, Hajiya Atiku Bagudu who was represented by Hajiya Saadatu Bello called on the government to improve the welfare of teachers as their impact on the society cannot be overemphasized.

The saying that the reward of teachers are in heaven is true because no matter what you give to a teacher you cannot pay him/her and that why their lives and condition of living should be made comfortable and conducive in this single life that we have She said.

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh while speaking to the press said children needed to be given sound education, adding that her foundation is taking the lead by enrolling many children in schools.

The Tonto Dikeh foundation is taking as many children as possible back to school and providing everything they need to be educated because I believe the children we are helping today are the future leaders of tomorrow and if we want to change our tomorrow, we have to start from the ones that are not our leaders yet She added.

The founder of FAME foundation, Aderonke Bello noted that the need to empower teachers sprung up because of their mandate to transfer sound knowledge to their students.

She said,We are training the trainee because kids spend more of their time in schools than at home, therefore the knowledge gained in the seminar gets to the kids.
