The 2024 winner of the 10th edition of the annual Nigerian Breweries-Felix Ohiwerei Education Trust Fund Maltina Teacher of the Year competition would be unveiled on Friday, 11th October, 2024.
Introduced in 2015, the national competition to identify, honour and reward outstanding teachers in Nigeria is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and other stakeholders in education, including the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPPS) and Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN).
