TITILOPE Blessing Dairo from CityTop School, Egbeda, Lagos State, alongside three others has emerged as the winner in the year 2022 ‘The Influential Teacher Contest Season 3’ organised by Vera James GC in recognition of teachers’ hard work, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
The winners include Titilope Blessing Dairo from CityTop School, Egbeda, Lagos State, who emerged the first prize winner while Gideon Chinaza Nnakude from Oluyole Estate Extension, Ibadan, Oyo State, came second.
The third-place winners include Gladys Ijeoma Peter of Noblegate School, Westwood Estate Badore Road, Ajah, Lagos State and Clementina Pere-Ere Arisou from Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
Speaking during the last year’s programme, the Principal Consultant of the Vera James GC Limited, Dr Vera James, said the recognition came at a time when the teaching profession offers little or no appeal to the younger generation.
According to her, “teachers are not at the top of our dear nation’s priority list, but we must put ourselves there as the world’s priority class. This is what the Vera James GC stands for.”
