Federal Capital Territory Administration, (FCTA), in conjunction with the Korean Government, has concluded a 10 – day capacity building workshop for 72 teachers of the Nigeria/Korean Model School currently under construction in Abuja.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the local training workshop at the FCDA Conference Room, Abuja on Thursday, the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, congratulated all the stakeholders in the project.
He expressed appreciation for the collaboration and that 30 teachers among this number would be further trained at another workshop in Korea by the end of the year to improve their capacity in school administration.
The Minister explained that these training programmes are part of the capacity building component of a multi-million-dollar multilateral cooperation between Nigeria and the Korean government to build a world-class school in the Federal Capital Territory.
Muhammad Bello said that seven resource persons, made up of five Professors from the Younsam University in South Korea and two Nigerian experts, worked during the local workshop to equip the teachers with the requisite knowledge for the task ahead.
The Minister, who urged the participants to consider the capacity building workshop as a very rare privilege which must be optimally utilized to impact positively on other teachers, students and the entire FCT education sector, asked them to strive to be good ambassadors of Nigeria.
He thanked the International Cooperation Agency in Nigeria (KOICA), Mrs. Park Sook Hyun as well as the Korean Ambassador to Nigeria, Noh Kyu-Duk for their untiring efforts and contributions in moving the project forward. [myad]
