In a landmark celebration of educators’ impact on society, Erudio Hub, led by Dr. Akin Akinpelu served as the Official Technical and Strategy Partner for the Let There Be Teachers (LTBT) Conference 2025 organised by 1 Million Teachers (1MT).

Held at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, the event achieved a historic milestone—setting a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of teachers, with a verified attendance of 5,082 participants. Speaking on the achievement, Akinpelu described the record as a triumph of purpose rather than numbers.

“This milestone is a tribute to the resilience and indispensable role of teachers. At Erudio Hub, we’re proud to have built the strategic and technical architecture that made this vision a global reality,” he said.

From conceptualization to execution, Erudio Hub designed and managed the entire lifecycle of the conference—driving strategy, logistics, communications, and stakeholder engagement.

The buildup to the event featured advocacy programmes such as the School Growth Forum and Walk for Teachers campaigns, which mobilised educators and heightened public awareness across several Nigerian states.

Themed “Teachers Matter: Celebrating the Role of Teachers in Enhancing Quality Education,” the LTBT 2025 Conference brought together over five thousand teachers, policymakers, development partners, and education advocates to amplify teacher voices and influence policy direction.

At the close of the event, a communiqué was issued calling for legislative action to strengthen teacher welfare, improve curriculum design, and accelerate education reform across Africa.

CEO of 1 Million Teachers, Dr. Hakeem Subair, described the conference as a resounding declaration uniting educators, partners, and believers under one sky to affirm a simple truth: teachers matter.

Convener of LTBT and Director of Partnerships at 1MT, Oluwaseyi Anifowose, credited the success of the historic gathering to Erudio Hub’s strategic leadership:

Project Manager and Head of Partnerships at Erudio Hub, Zainab Yussuff, said seeing thousands of teachers united by one shared vision of hope and pride was deeply moving.
