In May 2021, a member of the Gentlemen of Broad Street and the MBHS 95 Alumni – Mr. Kunle Sadare – submitted a proposal to the Executive Committee to showcase an idea that could be taken up by the Association as a means of rewarding teachers while also giving back to the Alma Mater.
Fortunately, the members of the Executive Committee excitedly bought into the idea and brought it to the larger house of the Association to ruminate upon.
Ultimately, the MBHS95 Alumni Association unanimously decided to take the leap and use this means to give back to their Alma Mater. It was seen as an Awards ceremony which would celebrate two teachers from the Senior and Junior Secondary Schools respectively, at least for a start.
The members of the Alumni were made to nominate and vote for their preferred candidates that would represent them and carry out the mandate to bring the innovative concept to life, end-to-end.
Based on the votes, below is the conclusive list of the members of the MBHS95 TEACHER AWARDS COMMITTEE:
1. Soji Jacobs
2. Kunle Ade-Onajobi (P.R.O.)
3. Kunle Sadare (Chairman)
4. Remi Makanju (General Secretary)
5. Olumide Olugbemi-Gabriel
6. Bayo Ogungbenro (Financial Secretary)
7. Femi Allen
8. Sola Souza
9. Niyi Ajayi-Bembe (Ass. General Secretary)
This Committee has the mandate to deliver an idea that may change lives of many, directly and indirectly, through the expectation that this reward system would encourage more teachers to enhance their practice. This would inadvertently ensure better quality of teaching to be received by the students.
This is just the beginning. The story has only just begun, and the Committee will provide updates as this project continues to take shape into full implementation.
Our prayer is that the Committee will be divinely guided, as God protects and strengthens each and every member as they take on this task. All members are encouraged to support the Committee as much as possible, financially, morally, and otherwise.
