Dufil Prima Foods Ltd, makers of Indomie Instant Noodles, has held its 17th Annual Indomie Teachers’ Seminar, bringing together educators from more than 350 schools across Lagos and Ogun states.

Held on October 17, 2026, the seminar focused on practical ways to improve teaching through classroom engagement, technology and inclusive learning.

Themed “21st Century Teaching Essentials: Engagement, Technology and Inclusion for Nigerian Educators,” the event explored ways to make lessons more interactive and meet pupils’ different learning needs.

Professor Mojisola Manuel, an early childhood education specialist at the University of Lagos and Acting Director of its Career Development Centre, urged teachers to move beyond traditional lectures and memorisation. She encouraged them to adopt teaching methods that promote critical thinking, problem-solving and active participation.

Mrs Faith Ogechukwu Joshua, National Coordinator of the Indomie Fan Club, highlighted the role of teachers in the club’s school activities. She also led interactive sessions, announced winners of the online teachers’ quiz and presented awards.

In her goodwill message, Mrs Oluwakemi Olusaanu, Director at the Lagos State Ministry of Education, urged teachers to apply the lessons from the seminar to improve classroom learning. She commended Dufil for sustaining the initiative and encouraged the company to continue the programme.

Earlier, Temitope Ashiwaju, Dufil’s General Manager, Corporate Communications and Events, acknowledged teachers’ contributions to pupils’ development and their role in shaping children’s experiences with the brand.

He also highlighted the company’s social investment in education, healthcare and community development, including scholarships for disadvantaged students, donations of books and support for school programmes spanning more than two decades.
The event featured a cultural performance by the National Heritage Dance Troupe, games, networking, cash prizes and gifts for participants.

Now in its 17th edition, the seminar reflects Dufil’s continued engagement with teachers and school communities to promote better learning experiences for pupils
