The Social Democratic Party SDP gubernatorial candidate in Kwara State, Hakeem Oladimeji Lawal has joined millions of people across the globe to celebrate World Teacher's Day.
The Kwara Governor hopeful comes 2023 hails Teachers for their commitment and sacrifices towards sustaining socio-economic stability.
In a statement seen by 9japarrot Media, His message reads in part as follows;
As a son of a disciplinarian teacher mother, I understand the woes, pains, cries, and sacrifices of the Nigerian teachers, particularly in Kwara state, where my mum, Hajia Nusirat Lawal, served till she retired.
Even whilst her husband was the Military Governor of Ogun state (1987 -1990) she out of passion remained in service.
She continued to mold the students, scores of which are leading lights in their various fields of endeavor today.
It’s no gainsaying the sad reality that successive governments have refused to accord the teaching profession its due recognition, thus the system has strategically hedged the majority of the teachers from climbing the societal ladder of sustainable socio-economic stability.
I am of the strong conviction that teachers must be returned to their rightful positions. Their salaries, allowances, promotions, and other entitlements must reflect their sacrifices.
Happy teachers' day to teachers the world over!
