In order to continue to compliment the effort of Ogun State government in the education sector, especially in public primary schools, no fewer than 200 Teach For Nigeria (TFN) fellows have received letter of engagement from the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).

Addressing the fellows at SUBEB’s Conference Hall, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Chairman, SUBEB, Dr. Femi Majekodunmi, noted that the programme was well organised, considering the qualities of teachers being produced and work with existing teachers in public primary schools across the state to teach the learners.

Dr. Majekodunmi tasked the fellows to demonstrate what they have learnt during the two years training and influence the learners by giving them good quality education as expected, enjoining them to continue be role models to the young ones.

He urged them to adapt to the environment which they found themselves, surpass the performance of their predecessors and come out in flying colours.

"Those before you have done well. We can only hope that you will do well, if possible, perform better. Any time I visit various schools all over the state, I have the habit of addressing TFN fellows on how they are enjoying working with us, and I discovered that they are doing well, good, dress well, and they are mindful of their 'Be the Change' project", he said.

Remarking, Coach TFN, Mr. Adebayo Adebari, enjoined the fellows to see the two-year training as a learning process and develop themselves, pointing out that experience garnered during the process, would be useful later in future.

Speaking on behalf of other fellows, Miss. Esther Adewole, expressed gratitude to the organisation and the state government for the opportunity, promising to discharge their duties and impact the learners positively.
