The President made the promise while celebrating the 2023 World Teachers’ Day in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

“I believe that there’s no vehicle that can transport you to your destination as safely as education. It is the reason every child, regardless of their background, awaits a future of vast possibilities.

“As we celebrate Nigerian teachers on this year’s World Teacher’s Day, I would like to restate that under my watch, teachers will get their due reward. Education is the miracle that changes the fortune of a family in a single generation,” he captioned.
