Besides the fourteen most outstanding honoraries every year, the GEHoF has yet another national programme:
“ONE in A MILLION- Teachers Who Make a Difference” is a nationwide initiative to collect the names of one million teachers who have made a difference in someone’s life. Anyone in any part of the country could place a teacher’s name into the GEHoF archives with a minimum donation of five thousand naira. A nationally known celebrity will be identified to serve as the spokesperson with the goal of elevating the status of the teaching profession and, thus, changing the course of education for the future of Nigeria.

The campaign will include television, radio and members of the press. A special documentary on the teaching profession will be the featured media event.
