The winner of the ‘2022 Maltina Teachers of the Year Award’ will be going home with N6.5m. Interested teachers have been advised to apply for the annual teachers’ award.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony for this year’s award held in Lagos, the Company Secretary/Legal Director, Nigerian Breweries Plc, Mr. Uaboi Agbebaku disclosed that the 8th edition of the Maltina Teacher of the Year Award is open to all secondary school teachers in public and private schools in Nigeria. Applicants must also be fully registered with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria – TRCN.
He said that the competition remains an effective intervention programme geared towards improving the status of teachers and the overall education sector in Nigeria.
“The teaching job is a special one and there is really no reward on earth that is big enough to compensate teachers for what they do. Indeed, we owe them a great deal of gratitude for the crucial roles they continue to play. So, for us in Nigerian Breweries, the Maltina Teacher of the Year Award is an avenue to honour them.”
Also speaking, Registrar/Chief Executive, Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), Prof. Josiah Olusegun Ajiboye who was represented by the Lagos State Coordinator, Mrs. Adaobi Ekwuno, said that the Maltina Teacher of the Year initiative has helped to renew the passion of teachers in their profession, and promised to support this year’s edition by spreading awareness amongst registered secondary school teachers.Winn
