Lagos CP celebrates teachers, visits NIJ







The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu recently visited his alma mater, the Nigerian Institute of Journalism, Ogba, Lagos to felicitate with his former lecturers in celebration of World Teacher's Day. 

Teachers’ Day is a global observance and was held this year on October 5. More than 100 countries commemorate World Teachers’ Day and each country holds its own celebrations. 

Teachers’ Day is an occasion that pays a tribute to the teachers and tends to resolve some of the issues regarding their profession and hence tries to attract the brightest young minds towards this profession. Various organizations like UNESCO, Education International (EI), UNICEF, UNDP, the International Labor Organization (ILO), etc. organize campaigns and conferences to achieve this goal. 

UNESCO allocates a Theme for this Day every year and campaigns focus on this theme. This year's event was themed - “Teachers at the heart of education recovery”.

The agency presented the theme in respect of their determination and diligent efforts in the crucial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The celebration is done in services of teachers and their contributions to education are acknowledged and their role and importance for the development of students and society are appreciated, and although the visit was impromptu, CP Odumosu said he deemed it necessary to pay the Institution and its management a courtesy visit after a long time.  

NIJ management, led by its Provost, Mr Gbenga Adefaye, received him and his entourage. Adefaye appreciated his call and placed a demand on him and other alumni to assist the institution in whatever way they could. 

NIJ, the Provost noted, was not doing badly but with the additional support of the alumni, more could be achieved. "It will be a good thing if the NIJ Alumni Association, can be revived, made more robust and its members unite to give back to their Alma mater", he opined. 

Odumosu in his response commended NIJ lecturers for the professional training they gave him while he was a student at the institution. 

Amongst the officers on the entourage of the Lagos State Police boss were the Area G commander, Ogba, ACP Ibrahim Zungura and a media crew.
