Stakeholders in the education sector in Nigeria have advocated for reforms to enhance teaching and learning during the 3rd National Leadership Training Workshop organized by the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS) in Abuja. The workshop, themed “The Impact of Ethics and Attitudinal Change in Managerial Leadership,” was held on a Tuesday and aimed to make the teaching profession more appealing.

ASUSS National President, Mr Olusola Adigun, stated that the initiative was part of the 2026 World Teachers’ Day celebrations and focused on equipping educators with necessary skills. He highlighted the importance of self-evaluation within the union and the education sector, emphasizing that educators must embody the respect they seek.

Adigun noted that the union's secretariat recommended leadership training to address ethical deficits observed during his tenure as Secretary-General. The Lead Speaker, Dr Adeola Faleye from Obafemi Awolowo University, also stressed the need for teachers to improve their professional image and maintain integrity.
