Introduction:

Behind every thriving student is a teacher who believed, guided, and gave their all. At GET, we believe teachers are more than educators; they are nation builders. Grooming Endowment Teachers Appreciation Program (GETAP) was created to spotlight the unsung heroes shaping minds and futures.

Following the nationwide call for applications, a series of rigorous reviews and interviews by a qualified panel, 12 outstanding educators emerged as this year’s grant recipients. From reimagining lesson plans with local materials to mentoring students beyond the syllabus, their stories are full of grit, grace and quiet genius, and they’ve done it all with limited resources.

Each of the 12 winners received a ₦200,000 grant in recognition of their unwavering dedication, resilience, and impact on their classrooms.

But GETAP is more than a grant or an award; it’s about reminding society that education begins with a teacher and thrives when we honour them. The program was designed to uplift teachers impacting classrooms in underserved communities who are doing exceptional work despite limited resources. The initiative provides not just financial relief, but validation that their work truly matters.

This year's winners are:

Adeola Akinsulure (Lagos State), Shulammite Aremo (Lagos State), Chiamaka Osueke (Bayelsa State), Emmanuel Momoh (Kwara State), Taiwo Alabi (Lagos State), Abraham Ngobiri (Enugu State), Togbe Ganiyu (Ogun State), Akeem Badru (Ogun State), Uzomah Uzomah (Ebonyi State), Blessing Akila (Benue State), Abu Sarah (Kaduna State), Osasumwen Erhabor (Edo State).

These educators have shared how the grant will go a long way in purchasing teaching aids and classroom supplies to further their academic growth.

To every teacher out there: we see you, we value you, and we’re rooting for you.
