In a significant step towards prioritizing the education of children, a comprehensive capacity development training program for select teachers in the Ikole/Oye constituency was successfully concluded yesterday. This two-day initiative, which took place in the local governments of Ikole and Oye, aimed to equip educators with contemporary teaching techniques, enhance their ability to support children with learning challenges, and empower them to become advocates against gender-based violence.

The training program was facilitated by NurtureHouse Consulting, under the leadership of its CEO, Mrs. Ayopeju Njideaka. With the overarching theme of 'Leaving No One Behind,' the sessions focused on 'Strengthening the Foundations of Practice,' aligning with the mission to deepen inclusion within the local education ecosystem.

One of the primary objectives of the training was to provide teachers with the tools and knowledge necessary to employ modern teaching methodologies effectively. Additionally, it sought to ensure that educators could cater to the unique needs of children facing learning challenges, making education more accessible to all.

Notably, the program also emphasized the role of teachers as frontline advocates against gender-based violence, underlining the importance of safe learning environments within schools.

Hon. Akin Rotimi Jr., Member of the House of Representatives representing Ikole/Oye Federal Constituency I, spearheaded this initiative. In his role as host and facilitator, he expressed his gratitude to all stakeholders who contributed to the success of the training program. Special recognition was extended to the state and local government leadership of teachers' unions, including NUT, ANCOPPS, ASUS, among others, for their invaluable support.

The closing ceremony of the program saw the presence of eminent political leaders and local government chairpersons, highlighting the collective commitment to the cause of education in Ikole/Oye. Hon. Akin Rotimi Jr. also extended his appreciation to his former classmate, Mr. Iheanyi Akwitti, a prominent figure in the education sector, for connecting him with NurtureHouse Consulting.

This endeavor marks the beginning of a broader mission to create inclusive ecosystems in the community, extending next to healthcare workers and local government employees. It underscores the commitment of Ikole/Oye constituency to leave no one behind in building a brighter future for its residents.

With a vision for an inclusive and empowered community, Ikole/Oye's investment in education is a testament to the dedication of its leaders and the promise of a brighter future for its children.
