Her kindred, the people of Bonny erupted with elation as the hard-working Soibifaa Charles Tolofari was announced the Best Teacher in Nigeria 2024.

Checks by Kristina Reports indicate that screening for the best teacher was conducted by the Rivers State Ministry of Education in August 2024 where Tolofari emerged as the best in the State.

Then on Saturday, October 5, 2024 she was selected as the best in the federation by the Federal Ministry of Education at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

Reacting to the recognition, the recipient of the award, Soibifaa Charles Tolofari, who is a teacher at State Primary School, Rumueme, Port Harcourt, expressed her happiness at the award.

She noted that it has been her lifelong dream to be a teacher and is very elated that she has become a successful one at that.
