Alimosho, Lagos – The Director-General of the Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA), Lagos State, Dr. Sulaimon Ogunmuyiwa, will deliver the keynote address at the 2026 MUTAN–MSSN Parley scheduled for Saturday, 24th October 2026, in Alimosho, Lagos.
The annual event, themed “The Teacher We Value, The Future We Build,” is organised by the Muslim Teachers Association of Nigeria (MUTAN) and the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), in collaboration with the League of Muslim Schools Proprietors (LEAMSP), Alimosho Zone.
The parley will be held at the State Schools Complex Mosque, Alimosho, and is expected to bring together teachers, students, school proprietors and other stakeholders to discuss issues relating to educational development, teacher empowerment and quality assurance.
Speaking ahead of the event, Chairman of the Organising Committee, Ismail Hamzah, said the theme underscores the importance of recognising teachers’ contributions and providing them with the support needed to sustain their professional responsibilities.
“Teachers are jewels of inestimable value, but today in our society, they are not accorded the attention and support that they deserve,” Hamzah said.
He explained that a capacity-building session had been incorporated into the programme to expose teachers to sustainable business opportunities beyond the classroom without compromising the standards and quality of the service they deliver.
“This informed the theme of this year’s MUTAN–MSSN Parley,” he added.
Hamzah said the organisers invited the OEQA Director-General to share his experience and expertise on issues relating to educational quality, noting that his participation would benefit teachers, students and school proprietors.
“We have invited the Director-General of the Office of Education Quality Assurance, Dr. Sulaimon Ogunmuyiwa, as the keynote speaker for this year’s parley.
“This is significant because we believe sharing his wealth of experience and expertise on the quality of education will benefit not only the teachers and students but also school proprietors, who are critical stakeholders in school operations,” he said.
The capacity-building session will be facilitated by Mr Ismail Ogunyomi., ACA, Director of Main Earnest Global Resources and Coordinator of the League of Muslim School Proprietors, Alimosho Zone.
A health talk will also be delivered by Alhaja Falilat Adigun-King, a retired Deputy Director of Nursing Services at the Lagos State Primary Health Care Board.
The programme will feature a health walk which will takeoff at Ansaruddeen Central Mosque, Estate Gate Bus Stop, Ipaja, and will end at the venue of the parley. The walk, which is scheduled to commence at 8:00 am, is also aimed at ensuring that teachers remain healthy and sound while discharging their duties.
The parley is expected to provide a platform for knowledge-sharing, networking, professional development and engagement among teachers, students and school proprietors, with emphasis on the role of educators in shaping students’ academic progress and future prospects.
The organisers hope the engagement will also encourage stronger collaboration among stakeholders in education and promote the adoption novel approaches to teaching and learning process cum educational quality compliance.
