Nigeria has etched its name in history as the Let There Be Teachers Conference, held at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) in Lagos, was officially certified by Guinness World Records as the largest gathering of teachers ever recorded.
Guinness World Records confirmed the achievement and issued a virtual certificate to participants, validating that the turnout surpassed all previous teacher gatherings worldwide.
Convener of the conference, Oluwaseyi Anifowose, shared his excitement via his Facebook page, declaring: “The Largest Gathering of Teachers in the World! My name is Oluwaseyi Anifowose and I am a proud teacher! Let There Be Teachers.”
One of the organisers, Sola Sogbera, described the recognition as historic, noting that it affirms Nigeria’s dedication to teacher development and positions the country as a leader in global education advocacy.
The event, covered live by Edugist, brought together thousands of teachers, education stakeholders, and policymakers to exchange ideas on professional growth and the future of learning in Nigeria.
The choice of TBS, a landmark venue with a legacy of hosting defining national moments since independence, underscored the symbolic importance of celebrating teachers as nation-builders.
Guinness World Records, established in 1955, has become the global authority on extraordinary feats across diverse fields. With this recognition, Nigeria joins a select group of nations that have set global standards through education-focused mobilisations.
For many teachers, the achievement represents more than a number; it is a tribute to their sacrifices, resilience, and vital role in shaping generations. The record sends a clear message that teachers remain the backbone of both national progress and global development.
