^{The Ogun State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has commended Teach For Nigeria (TFN) for its significant contributions to teaching and learning in public Primary Schools across the State.}

^{The Chairman of the board, Evang. Olalekan Ifede, gave the commendation while delivering a goodwill message at a stakeholders’ engagement organised by TFN at Abeokuta Grammar School, saying that the organisation’s deployment of dedicated fellows, support for school leadership, foundational learning and numeracy initiatives, 'Be the Change projects' and educational radio programmes had contributed significantly to its achievements.}

^{Represented by the Director of Monitoring and Evaluation, Mrs. Oluwaseyi Oke, the Chairman appreciated the commitment of TFN fellows, who continue to inspire pupils, promote effective teaching practices and contribute to improved learning outcomes. He acknowledged the support of Governor Dapo Abiodun, whose administration had facilitated the annual placement of 200 fellows in Public Primary Schools across the State and provided them with monthly stipends.}

^{Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer of TFN, Mrs Molade Adeniyi, said the organisation was the first partner in Africa to collaborate with a Ministry of Education on the placement of fellows in public schools, noting that the partnership demonstrated the government's commitment to prioritising education and promoting equity in the sector.}

^{She disclosed that TFN had deployed more than 3,000 fellows to public schools across Nigeria, describing Ogun State as the organisation’s longest-standing partner.}

^{“We have impacted over 500,000 children in the last ten years in over 800 schools. That is a big number. It is possible to reach millions of children with zero impact. But through the collaboration, we have recorded a huge success,” she said.}

^{Also speaking, a 2025 Teach For Nigeria fellow, Aminat Adeniji, said the organisation had transformed her life, particularly in her academic pursuits, adding that the programme had helped her develop greater self-confidence.}
