How Indomie Got Teachers Talking About the Future of Education

Chalk, Clicks and Classroom Connections: How Indomie Got Teachers Talking About the Future of Education

Keeping students engaged, making lessons meaningful and adapting to technology are some of the challenges facing today’s teachers. These issues took centre stage at the 17th Annual Indomie Teachers’ Seminar, organised by Dufil Prima Foods Plc on October 17, 2026, at the University of Lagos Women Society Hall.

The event brought together hundreds of teachers from Lagos and Ogun states under the theme “21st Century Teaching Essentials: Engagement, Technology and Inclusion for Nigerian Education.”

Teaching in the 21st Century

Professor Mojisola Manuel, Director of the Career Support Development Centre and Professor of Early Childhood Education, led discussions on learner-centred teaching and the three domains of learning: cognitive, affective and psychomotor, often described as the head, heart and hand.

The session highlighted the importance of moving beyond memorisation to encourage critical thinking, practical skills and active student participation.

Dufil’s Investment in the Education Conversation

For Dufil Prima Foods Plc, the seminar provides an opportunity to recognise educators and support conversations about the changing demands of teaching.

Speaking at the event, Mr Tope Ashiwaju, Corporate Communications and Events Manager, acknowledged teachers’ contributions and encouraged participants to apply the lessons gained.

He also highlighted Dufil’s wider education and community development efforts, including scholarship support, educational facility interventions and community-based programmes.

A Call to Take the Lessons Beyond the Seminar Hall

Mrs Oluwakemi Olusaanu, Director of Education, Lagos State Education District IV, urged teachers to put what they learnt into practice.

She emphasised interactive teaching, positive teacher-student relationships and continuous professional development, reinforcing the importance of creating classroom experiences that encourage curiosity and active participation.

Ultimately, the value of professional development lies in how its lessons influence everyday teaching.

Learning, Laughter and a Little Indomie

Beyond the presentations, teachers enjoyed Indomie meals, branded shirts and caps, games, African music and a cultural dance performance celebrating Nigerian heritage.

Mrs Ogechukwu Faith Joshua, Indomie National Manager and Coordinator of the Indomie Fan Club, also introduced the Indomie Fan Club app. Certificates of participation were presented to attendees at the event.

Seventeen editions on, for Dufil Prima Foods Plc, the seminar remains part of its engagement with teachers and the wider education community. For the educators who attended, the real work begins when they return to their classrooms and put those lessons into practice. This year’s discussions focused on making learning more engaging, inclusive and relevant. The next step is for teachers to apply these ideas, from encouraging critical thinking to using technology with purpose and responding to different learning needs.
