This admonition was given by a former All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools(ANCOPPS) in Oyo state, Pastor Abraham Akande in his address on Monday during the celebration of the World Teachers Day with the theme, ''Teachers: Leading in Crisis, Re-imagining the Future''.
''Let us as much as possible in everything we do, put God first, in our careers, assignments, and all that we do. If you put God first, He would always touch your lives and teach you what to .
Do not relent in improving yourselves so that you can produce quality learners who shall be leaders of tomorrow'', Pastor Akande concluded.
Earlier in his welcome address, the Chairman of the state wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers(NUT), Comrade Tojuade Adedoyin had appealed to the State Government to provide and ensure the even distribution of instructional materials to schools in the state, saying '' there is a noticeable increase in learners' enrollment due to the re-introduction free education in Oyo state. Hence, schools' infrastructure needs to be adequately provided for to compliment the available furniture that has been overstretched. Equally, Primary schools should be adequately catered for'', Comrade Adedoyin stated.
The Chairman of the State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists(NUJ)Comrade Ademola Babalola gave the closing prayer at the event.
