32 Years of Service: Ugoh Charity Member Honoured as Best Head Teacher

By Harriet Tornguvan 

The recognition came after 32 years of dedicated service in the teaching profession, during which she has impacted the lives of generations of pupils through teaching, mentoring and effective school leadership.

Mrs. Member was recognised as the Best Head Teacher for the 2025/2026 Academic Year by the Kwande Local Government Education Authority (LGEA), Adikpo, Benue State, according to a Certificate of Excellence presented to her by the authority.

The award recognises her commitment to excellence, discipline, effective leadership and dedication to the education and welfare of pupils under her care.

For more than three decades, Member has remained committed to nurturing young minds, with her influence extending beyond academic instruction to include moral guidance, mentorship and character development.

Her colleagues and pupils describe her long years in the profession as a period marked by dedication and a passion for helping children achieve their potential.

Through her leadership at LEA Township Primary School, Jato-Aka, she has continued to promote an environment where pupils can develop academically and socially while imbibing values that can guide them throughout life.

The Best Head Teacher award, therefore, represents not only recognition of her current performance but also a celebration of her 32 year journey of service and impact in the education sector.

Mrs. Member’s career demonstrates the important role teachers play in shaping society, as the knowledge, discipline and values imparted to children can influence generations beyond the classroom.

With three decades of service behind her, the veteran educationist has left a legacy measured not only by the number of years spent in the classroom but by the lives touched, children inspired and future leaders nurtured.

The recognition has further provided an opportunity for the education community, pupils and well wishers to celebrate her dedication and contribution to primary education in Kwande Local Government Area.
