MALTINA COMPETITION:OGUN TEACHER EMERGES 2ND RUNNER UP

  

A teacher at the Patterson Memorial Baptist Grammar School, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, Mrs. Folukemi Adeeko, has emerged the 2nd runner up in the 2020 Maltina Teachers of the year competition in Nigeria.


Presenting the award and a cash prize of N1,250,000 on behalf of the Nigerian Breweries PLC, Brewery Manager, Ibadan and Ijebu-Ode, Mr. Tayo Ogundana said the National Competition, which began six years ago, was part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), to the people and an initiative of the Nigerian Breweries Education Trust Fund.

Applauding the government for the immense support it has given to organisations and industries within the State to thrive, pointed out that the move has made it the industrial destination of choice nationwide, revealing that a block of six classrooms would be constructed at the school from which the second runner up emerged.

Receiving Mrs. Adeeko on behalf of the government, the Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele said the State prides itself being first in everything including education and industrial development, adding that government is determined at improving and maintaining the ease of doing business.

Engr. Salako-Oyedele emphasised that the initiative would boost the morale of teachers in the State, as well as complement government’s efforts at repositioning the education sector, being one of the five pillars of the administration, pledging their continued support for Nigerian Breweries PLC.

Congratulating Mrs. Adeeko on her emergence, she encouraged her to maintain the tempo, challenging her colleagues to brace up for participation in such national competitions, that would earn them good rewards and in turn bring glory to the State.

Also speaking, Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof Abayomi Arigbabu, observed that Nigerian Breweries was one of the organisations that has taken its CSR important, promising more cooperation from the education ministry at large.
