President Muhammadu Buhari has re-appointed Professor Segun Ajiboye as the Chief Executive/Registrar of the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) for another five-year tenure.
Ajiboye received his reappointment letter on Wednesday through the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education, Sunday Echono.
TRCN is the body that regulates the teaching profession in the country.
Ajiboye was first appointed by President Buhari in 2019 to head the council.
Until his appointment, he was a lecturer at the University of Ibadan in Oyo State.
After receiving his letter of reappointment on Wednesday, Ajiboye thanked Buhari for the confidence reposed in him, pledging that he would continue to reposition the teaching profession to global standards.
He said, “I want to thank Mr President for the confidence reposed in me to be reappointed. The president has thrown another challenge at me to translate the vision to action.
“Together with my team in TRCN, we shall deliver. In the next five years, teachers’ welfare and technology in the teaching profession will be pursued.
“We shall deepen professionalism in the teaching profession to ensure that the Nigerian teaching profession continues to rank among the best in the world.”
