President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki has joined in the celebration of the #WorldTeachersDay, noting that teachers ‘determine our future’

Read his statement below:

As the world celebrates International Teacher’s Day, I want to thank Mr Imana my secondary school principal and other KCOB staff and teachers who taught us chivalry and patriotism.

The role of teachers in the fabric of a nation’s existence cannot be overemphasized; they determine our future through our children.

Our children need strong educational foundations to be able to compete in the global arena. Hence, our great teachers must be celebrated.

Like the Mission Statement of my Alma Mater, King’s College: education nurtures our children to become adults of profound character.
