Flush Out Unregistered Teachers - University Don Urges TRCN

Prof. Mohammed Kunya, the Acting Vice Chancellor, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi, has called on the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) to flush out the proliferation of unregistered teachers in the country.

Kunya made the call in Bauchi on Tuesday, during the maiden induction ceremony of 243 final year students of the Faculty of Technology Education, ATBU into TRCN.

According to him, this would further ensure quality education and rich knowledge transmission to the future generations.

He said “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”.

Kunya also  congratulated the graduating students for their well-deserved induction into the mainstream of the umbrella  of registered Nigerian teachers.

Also speaking, Prof. Hassan Bello, the Dean of Faculty of Technology Education, ATBU, said that teaching is not merely a job, but a calling that requires a unique blend of passion, patience, dedication and deep-seated desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

He said that TRCN has played a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and standards of teacher education in Nigeria, adding that their induction process is a testament to their commitment to upholding the integrity of the teaching profession.

Represented by Prof. Adamu Jibrin, Deputy Dean, Faculty of Technology Education, Bello encouraged the inductees to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead of them.

In her address, Dr. Stella-Maria Nwokocha, the Acting Registrar, TRCN, said the body is working toward restoring the lost glory of education and teaching in the country.

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 qualified 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 that teachers that can manipulate technology using every tool and are willing to serve,” he said.
