<blockquote class="wp-block-quote has-text-align-right has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><em>“Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students”.</em></p><cite>—Solomon Ortiz</cite></blockquote>



<p>Teaching in Nigeria is often viewed as a second-class profession, and teachers are viewed as second-class citizens with poor pay and little social respect, as in many countries. Therefore, the WRR-NTA is a way to recognize and reward teachers in Nigeria who have made a lasting contribution to the English language, Literature in English, and the creative arts. </p>
