On October 6, 2024, Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji celebrated Teachers’ Day by honoring two remarkable educators dedicated to teaching students with disabilities.
Each teacher received a cash award of 500,000 naira, highlighting the governor’s commitment to acknowledging the vital role of these educators in fostering inclusive education.
The event took place during a lively celebration in the state, where the achievements of educators were showcased.
Mrs. Adetoun Agboola, Special Adviser on Special Education and Social Inclusion, praised Governor Oyebanji for his unwavering support for inclusivity in education.
She noted that this recognition serves as a significant morale booster for teachers in the disability sector.
Agboola remarked that this was the first time such awards were presented during the Teachers’ Day celebration in Ekiti State, emphasizing the historic nature of the gesture.
“The recognition of these dedicated teachers who tirelessly work with children with disabilities reflects Governor Oyebanji’s strong commitment to promoting inclusivity in our educational system,” she stated.
She also acknowledged the challenges faced by these educators over the past year.
They have had to adapt to new teaching methods, manage increased documentation, and prepare rigorously before delivering lessons.
Agboola emphasized that their hard work has paid off, as evidenced by today’s well-deserved honors, which recognize their unwavering dedication to their students.
Moreover, Agboola highlighted that these awards symbolize the acknowledgment of teachers’ voices within the disability community.
She reiterated the governor’s promise to support these educators and the broader community, ensuring that their needs and contributions are recognized.
The theme for this year’s Teachers’ Day celebration, “Valuing Teachers’ Voices: Towards a New Social Contract for Education,” resonates deeply with the ongoing efforts to enhance the educational landscape in Ekiti State.
By honoring these educators, Governor Oyebanji not only highlights their commitment but also sets a precedent for valuing all teachers across various sectors.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
