Nigeria’s best teacher in private secondary school gets car gift from Ogun Gov

The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has presented a brand new car to the overall winner of the Best Teacher in Private Secondary School category in Nigeria, Oluwasanjo Ogunleye.

Abiodun who made the presentation of the car gift to the teacher at his office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, on Friday, said he had no doubt in Ogunleye’s ability to bring his wealth of experience into the public service following his request to transfer from the private education sector.

He said, “Mr Ogunleye has graciously offered himself for public service and I think that is an offer we should not take lightly; the offer should be immediately accepted particularly because of the posture of this government as it relates to the technical and vocational education training.

“I do not doubt that with his wealth of experience, and having distinguished himself as someone who knows what he is doing, he will definitely add value to the technical and vocational education training department.”

“I want to encourage other teachers in the state to continue to strive to be the best in their chosen profession, this should be an inspiration to all teachers across the length and breadth of Ogun State. We have our students winning awards in the science and technical education and mathematics awards, and I don’t have a doubt that Ogun will continue to lead in education.”
