The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on Thursday honoured 67 outstanding teachers with Excellence Service Award for impacting the students to become useful citizens in society.

Permanent Secretary FCTA, Mr Olusade Adesola presented by the Excellence Service Award to the teachers who were selected from the various education agencies across the territory.

The award was put together by the FCT Secondary Education Board (SEB) to reward teachers in the nation’s capital to dispel the insinuations that teachers’ rewards are in heaven.

Represented by the Director Security Service Department, Mr. Adamu Gwary said the Awardees were rewarded for selfless service, dedication, punctuality, neatness, loyalty, accountability, integrity, commitment and innovations, among others.

He, however, described teaching as the most important profession in the world, while congratulating the Awardees and urging them to do more.

Mr Olusade specifically commended the synergy and collaboration of the entire education sister agencies and encouraged them to sustain the trend.

He said, “Who is a teacher? Teachers are people that lead you to success, lead you to prosperity; lead you to know who you are and lead you to be rooted in society. To become a champion is one thing, but to defend our championship is more difficult because those who do not receive the award will aspire to receive it; and in such a situation, service delivery would be enhanced. The reward for hard work is more work” Gwary Said.

Similarly, the Secretary of the FCT Education Secretariat, Malam Sani El- Katuzu who was represented by the Director of Administration and Finance, Malam Abdurazaq Leramoh enjoined them to continue to take their jobs of imparting the students seriously.

Saying, no reward can adequately compensate for the sacrifices of teachers, he described the recognition award as a motivational initiative that every other staff should strive to achieve.

On his part, the Director of the FCT Secondary Education Board, Dr. Ladan Sani said the 67 Awardees were carefully selected for their outstanding performances in their various departments and units.

Meanwhile, the Director FCT Education Resource Center, Hajiya Neemat Abdulraheem was optimistic that the award would spur a healthy competitive spirit among educators in the system.

“Originality is the true essence of life. I charged you all, to be honest, and original in your duties. I congratulate you all and urged those not recognized to work harder to be recognized.”

The majority of the Awardees expressed gratitude to the Board for honoring them and promised to work harder in the upcoming years.
