The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to improving the welfare and professional development of teachers in Nigeria as the nation joined the rest of the world to commemorate World Teachers’ Day 2025.

Speaking in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Education, Maruf Tunji Alausa, conveyed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message to teachers, noting that the administration recognises the vital role of educators in shaping the future of the country.

According to Alausa, teachers remain the backbone of the education sector, and as such, government policies will continue to prioritise their welfare, training and career advancement. He stressed that improved working conditions are critical to motivating teachers to deliver quality education to Nigerian students.

The minister highlighted ongoing reforms within the education sector aimed at addressing long-standing challenges facing teachers, including poor remuneration, inadequate facilities, and limited access to professional development opportunities. He assured that the government is working closely with stakeholders such as the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) and other professional bodies to design policies that will improve teachers’ status and safeguard their rights.

Alausa also acknowledged the sacrifices of teachers in remote and underserved communities who continue to contribute to national development despite limited resources, promising that government interventions will be more inclusive and impactful.

This year’s World Teachers’ Day is themed around celebrating the contributions of educators to national development and advocating for improved recognition, status, and support for teachers globally. The theme underscores the importance of teachers as change agents who nurture human capital and drive socio-economic progress.
