Teachers across Nigeria have a chance to win big as 1 Million Teachers (1MT), a teacher-centric professional development organisation holds its “Let There Be Teachers’ Conference in Lagos.

As part of activities preceding the conference, 1MT is seeking to reward inspiring and exceptional teachers who have incredible impact stories, demonstrating how they have inspired students.

“We deemed it fit to reward outstanding teachers who have made incredible impact, as we prepare to host 60,000 teachers on 20 September 2025,” Seyi Anifowose, Director for Strategic partnership of 1MT and Convener of the conference said.

To enter the competition, each teacher must register for the event on the ‘Let There Be Teachers’ website, and share a short video detailing their teacher impact stories and post it on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or X. In each post, they are expected to tag @lettherebeteachers, and @onemillionteachers, and include the official campaign hashtags: #LetThereBeTeachers2025 and #TeachersMatter.

The best story, with the highest level of engagement will win the star prize of ₦1million, the first and second runners-up will get N500,000 and N250,000 respectively.

The ‘Let There Be Teachers Conference’ is scheduled to be held at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos. It will provide a platform for major education sector stakeholders to highlight challenges faced by teachers with a view of galvanising solutions at the federal and state level.
