MR AYODELE ODEOGBOLA, a member of our great Union - Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS) who teaches at Abeokuta Grammar School, Idi Aba, Abeokuta was selected among the BEST 50 WORLD TOP TEACHERS BY VARKEY FOUNDATION, UK - a Foundation noted for celebrating exceptional teachers who have made an outstanding contributions to the profession all over the world. Another Secondary School teacher from Benue State - MR ANTHONY ITODO was also shortlisted.
This notable Foundation sponsored the award with a monetary reward of one million dollar equivalent to #360,000,000. The best out of ten, when pruned down from 50 will go home with the cash reward. According to the Foundation publication, all the 50 finalists will attend the event in Dubai on March 18, 2018.
I am happy because Ayodele Odeogbola, a strong member of our noble Union (ASUSS) in Ogun State was selected out of 33,000 teachers that applied to this Foundation from 173 countries around the globe. As a top finalist, a teacher becomes a part of the prestigious Varkey Teacher Ambassardors programme. This is the first time in four years that Nigerian teachers would be shortlisted for the Global Teachers prize popularly referred to as NOBEL PRIZE FOR TEACHING.
Odeogbola and Itodo need to be celebrated by Colleagues, Parents, Individuals, Corporate Organisations, Governments and all Lovers of our noble profession for being shortlisted among the top 50 finalist across the world.
Odeogbola in particular, together with his team, used his initiative to develop a professional development scheme to train thousands of teachers across the State with the support of United State Mission in Nigeria, Microsoft Nigeria and the Ogun State Government. In August this year at Ogun State ASUSS Secretariat in Abeokuta, his team also trained teachers on how to use computer to teach our students through the use of Skype in which I was a participant.
Odeogbola, you made us proud as teachers in the State, you are a pride to Ogun State Government. You have given teachers in the State and by extension all over the Federation a place of pride on the global educational scheme. Your enthusiasm is great, your passion for our profession is wonderful.
Colleagues, there is still one more hurdle to be crossed for Ayodele to have a full benefit of this Foundation which is to be among the TOP TEN all over the world and thereafter to be chosen as the best by God's Grace. We identify with this GENIUS as a Union and we pray that God will crown his efforts with great results.
To all my Colleagues in the State and by extension all over the Federation, the achievement of Messrs Ayodele Odeogbola and Anthony Itodo should be celebrated. Teaching is the MOTHER of all professions. We call on the Federal Government of Nigeria to include teachers among the beneficiciaries of NATIONAL HONOUR. If those we taught like Lawyers, Medical Doctors, Engineers etc should be given the honour, teachers who moulded them should not be an exception. ODEOGBOLA and ITODO deserve NATIONAL HONOURS.
Once again, on behalf of all teachers in the state, I congratulate MESSRS AYODELE ODEOGBOLA and ANTHONY ITODO on this success and I pray that God will grant you favour to be selected as the best. Indeed you are a pride and source of encouragement to teachers in the country. Please don't rest on your oars, remember that the reward for hard work is more work. Continue to be a pride to us, you are still going far. Please keep your head low and continue to be a blessing to humanity.
Congratulations.
Forward Ever!
Backward Never!!
