Hence, there is a need for teacher professionalism in order to enhance the role of teachers in the formulation and implementation of educational policies in Nigeria. This paper focuses on teaching as a profession in Nigeria, in line with the 2013 National Policy on Education (NPE) and TRCN’s role. The paper discussed various strategies to foster the full professionalization of teaching profession in Nigeria. With emphasis on the role of the Federal Government, Teachers organization, and TRCN. The study also revealed the challenges looming teaching profession in Nigeria. The paper is concluded with the recommendations for implementation ofprofessionalization of teaching in Nigeria.
