The former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Princess Sarah Sosan has advised teachers to aim for academic excellence in their service delivery to children
Sosan said this at the seminar of the Children’s Festival organised by U-Ideals, a media firm in Lagos recently.
The Mother of the Day berated the unfortunate indifferent attitude of most children towards academic pursuit.
“Teacher’s reward is not only in heaven but also starts from here. I am appealing to all teachers because I too was a teacher like you. If you do your job with all diligence, you will turn out children with excellent results and earn credit for your efforts.”
In her own contribution, Mrs Omotola Rotimi noted that the lukewarmness of children towards academics is due to a number of distracting factors in contemporary time, especially digital-related amenities like social media.
She encouraged both teachers and parents to live up to their duties of guiding children’s use of such facilities for efficient result.
Also speaking, the Chairman of the programme, Prof. Obi Iwuagwu, berated the system of alleged bribing for good result by some parents and encouraged all responsible to desist from such nefarious acts which he said only produce half-baked graduates.
