Ogudoro, the platform said, created the group in 2016 as a positive response to the frustration he experienced while trying to get education policymakers in Nigeria to adopt and promote learner-centred approaches to teaching and effective career management systems.
It noted that Ogudoro’s methods could save the country billions of dollars and make Nigeria a net exporter of educational services.
Ogudoro expressed gratitude to Facebook for the Award and revealed that he was scaling up the platform to help governments around the world to train and retrain teachers for globally competitive education.
