consumer finance company, Page Financials, has celebrated two teachers, whose commitment continues to inspire hope and transformation in education.
This is in celebration of World Teachers Day. In a campaign that invited nominations from the public, the firm sought out teachers who have shown dedication.
Two schools were visited in Lagos State: Ago Iwoye Methodist Primary School, Ebute Meta, and Anglican Comprehensive High School, Ipaja.
Mrs. Ipinlola Olaiya and Mr. Fashina, teachers from both schools were given N100,000 each.
Mrs. Olaiya, who has been teaching since 1991, struggled to hold back tears as she received her reward, saying she had been ‘trusting God for financial support.’
At Anglican Comprehensive, Creative Arts teacher, Mr. Fashina, who has served for over 24 years, shouted ‘Jesus!’ in disbelief when he got the gift. He said his mobility aid had broken down and fixing it had been a major concern.
Venerable Adeniji, headteacher of Anglican Comprehensive lauded Page Financials, saying Fashina ”has won Best Teacher of the Year in the school more than twice.’
Ola Moses, head of Marketing and Corporate Communications, said the gesture reflects the firm’s broader mission of empowering heroes.
‘Teachers build foundations of society, yet their sacrifices go unnoticed. At Page, we celebrate and empower those who empower others,’ he said.
Since 2014, Page has provided loans, investment opportunities, and payment solutions. Beyond this, it champions initiatives that highlight service, excellence, and social impact.
