Vice chancellor of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi, Professor Sani Kunya, has called on the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) to stop the proliferation of unregistered teachers in the country.
Professor Kunya said this during the maiden induction ceremony of 243 final year students of the Faculty of Technology Education of the university.
To him, this would further ensure quality education and rich knowledge transmission to the future generations.
“I want to specially commend the efforts of the TRCN in its dogged stance over the years to ensure the maintenance of quality teaching in the country.
“You must strive to collaborate with those relevant agencies, including security operatives to fish out dud institutions and flush out the proliferation of unregistered teachers especially in some private institutions.
“Hence, our government must continue to pay special attention to enable the TRCN to execute its onerous responsibility in order to secure the future of our country,” he said.
Professor Kunya also congratulated the graduating students for their well-deserved induction into the mainstream of the umbrella of registered Nigerian teachers.
Speaking, the acting registrar of TRCN, Dr. Stella-Maria Nwokocha, said the body is working toward restoring the lost glory of education and teaching in the country.
Dr Nwokocha, who was represented by Dr. Dipo Okunlola, a member of TRCN Abuja, added that the body is also going to reposition teaching and learning in the country.
She explained that the inductees performed excellently in their professional examination and are the first to be inducted into TRCN in the history of Bauchi State.
“This is a testimony that you are the ones that are going to take the world by surprise because you are the teachers who can manipulate technology using every tool and are willing to serve,” he said.
