The Lagos State Government plans to present cars as prizes to deserving teachers and school officials at the second Teachers’ Merit Award ceremony, which is slated for Wednesday, June 29, 2022.

The Ministry of Education organized the event to recognize and honor the enthusiasm and commitment of the best public school teachers in the state.

The Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu Administration created the Annual Education Merit Awards as a way to recognize and encourage teachers who give their all to improving the quality of teaching and learning.
