The event which is the biggest education show in Africa has ended and it was a resounding success with rave reviews from attendees and exhibitors all over the nation. It was an experience of a lifetime for those who participated in the show for the first time.

Did you miss out of the event, or missed out on some of the key moments? Not to worry, we have got you covered. Here is a short review of how TOSSE 2022 went.

Day 1 of TOSSE 2022

We welcomed the Lagos State Honourable Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folashade Adefisayo, alongside The Keynote Speaker, Mrs. Adeola Azeez, and the Ambassador of Finland to Nigeria, H.E. Leena Pylvanainen, amongst other special guests as they opened the ceremony in style.

The 14th edition of the Total School Support Seminar/Exhibition hosted top school owners, school administrators, teachers, parents, manufacturers/suppliers of educational resources and other stakeholders in the Education sector from Lagos, Abuja, Port-harcourt, Kano, Akwa Ibom, Nasarawa, Ogun, Oyo state etc. We also welcomed visitors and exhibitors from different parts of the world like Finland, Spain, The UK, Tanzania etc. Thousands of participants were in attendance for the first day of the show.

During “The School Business Clinic“, School leaders were engaged by Panelists from Finland, Access Bank, Lagos state Ministry of Education, and NewGlobe Education on matters centered on building a sustainable education ecosystem in Africa. It was a thoroughly enlightening session as to what it takes to build thriving education models.

Other attendees were also treated to an exquisite array of seminar topics facilitated by local and international experienced professionals in the Teachers hall and Diamond canopy.

Day 2 of TOSSE

After a loaded day 1, it was the turn of participants from the Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) led by Chairman, Mrs Elizabeth Ariyo, to join in for professional and developmental training.

School Leaders were trained on all fronts as to promote development in the sector, while teachers from the public and private sector were being trained on how to develop themselves as professionals and become change agents from their classrooms to the world.

The closing ceremony ended with a raffle draw winner going home with a N200,000 investment towards a plot of land alongside other consolation prizes.

Other winners went home with N10,000 cash prizes from the dance competition.

TOSSE 2022 was a beehive of activities with participants up-skilling themselves, checking out what’s NEW and purchasing the latest materials from exhibitors, building networks and getting valuable connections. We are sure that long-lasting business relationships were formed at TOSSE 2022.

It is impossible for us to mention all the activities that took place at the colorful event, but it was an experience that no one will forget in a while. We promise to further update you about our upcoming events.

AvoPizza Fabulous: A new pizza home in Arepo

Before 2012, pizzas were a foreign concept in Nigeria but today we have over 15 different pizza companies in Nigeria.

However, most of these food companies tend to open their pizza shops in major cities like Lagos, Abuja and so on.

*Avo pizza Fabulous enters the scene.

While others went to state capitals and major areas across Nigeria, and that meant that people in other states only had to wait till they visited such places before they could enjoy the pizzas, Avo pizza Fabulous chose to bring the delicious delight of well-baked pizzas to Arepo in Ogun state.

AvoPizza Fabulous also chose to expand their production and sales to other refreshment and sumptuous food consumables like Ice Cream, Chicken and Chips, and bread made in an exclusively hygiene environment and in line with Global Standard on Health and Safety.

The station has now become home to schools, families, organizations and individuals who want to enjoy the delight of pizzas and other food consumables.

As an organization seeking to also use its name to impact the education sector, AvoPizza Fabulous has organized English and mathematics quiz competitions in a bid to also help and engage students academically.

Furthermore, AvoPizza Fabulous have partnered with the organisers of the Total School Support Seminar/Exhibition (TOSSE) in a bid to continue to support the education sector.

The exhibition is set to hold on the 1st and 2nd of September 2022 in Lagos. To register for the event, click here.

How Mouka has been impacting the Nigerian education sector

With studies revealing that longer sleep duration, better sleep quality and greater sleep consistency improves academic performance, sleep products have become a necessity for students after their daily activities.

Mouka Limited, a beacon in the sleep products industry have been taking giant strides to ensure that parents and students all across Nigeria are getting all as much educational support as possible.

Another research also shows that students who sleep well are more ‘likely to develop innovative ways of solving complex issues mathematically than those with sleep deprivation’.

Based on these research works and many more, which have made the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy encourage students to prioritize quality sleep, Mouka has continued to manufacture products to aid this cause.

Furthermore, as part of the company’s 5^th CSR pillar called “Skills For Life”, Mouka birthed the Award for excellence initiative in 2020 to recognise and promote academic excellence while advocating the role of quality sleep in the equation.

To this end, Mouka recognised and rewarded the best graduating students from all faculties of the Nile University of Nigeria, Abuja, with cash grants at the school’s convocation ceremony held recently.

Earlier this year also, Mouka rewarded its Business Partners with over N111,000,000 worth of scholarships, high-end laptops and educational materials for their children. In addition, 15 junior staff of Mouka went home with scholarships to the tune of N5,000,000 as an act of goodwill from the company.

Mouka has not relented in its bid to promote academic excellence while advocating the role of quality sleep, as they have now partnered with the organizers of the Total School Support Seminar/Exhibition (TOSSE) which is Africa’s biggest education show to continue to support the education community in Nigeria.

Mouka Limited is one organization whose impact has been felt even outside its own industry, into the education sector.
