In a statement signed by Ifemosu Michael media aide to Hon. Mrs Iredee Oginni, Ogun State Chairman of UPN says “we all know the reason for today’s celebration, today is set to celebrate Teacher’s day around the world and also to give them our heartily tribute for their hard efforts of making our nation’s future.
She said, Today is 5th of October and on this day we celebrate teachers day every year with lots of joy, happiness and enthusiasm.
My dear Teachers, today on the occasion of Teachers Day, I would like to celebrate the importance of teachers in our life.
Students all across the country should observe this day to pay respect to their teachers, because truly teachers are like back bone of our society, They play a great role in building up the characters of students and shape them to become an ideal citizens.
Teachers teach students very carefully and sincerely just like their own children, I can as well say that teachers are greater than parents.
Parents give birth to a child whereas teachers shape his/her character and make his/her future bright.
Thus we should never forget and ignore them, we should always respect and love them.
Parents are responsible for giving love and quality care, however, teachers are responsible for making whole future bright and successful.
They know the importance of education in our life through their continuous efforts.
They are the source of inspiration to us which help us to go ahead and get success.
They motivate us towards studying by giving examples of great personalities all over the world.
They make us so strong and prepared to withstand any obstacle of the life.
They become full of immense knowledge and wisdom which they use in nourishing our lives.
Finally, Let us say together that our teachers we are always grateful to you for all you do to us” she said.
Signed.
Ifemosu Michael
