This is a conceptual paper that examines the multifaceted factors influencing the morale of literacy facilitators in Nigeria. Despite the crucial role these facilitators play in addressing Nigeria's literacy challenges, they face significant challenges that undermine their motivation and performance. Through analysis of existing literature and empirical studies, this paper identifies four primary categories of influencing factors: working conditions, compensation and benefits, professional development opportunities, and organizational support and recognition. The findings reveal that inadequate infrastructure, inconsistent remuneration, limited training opportunities, and minimal involvement in decision-making collectively contribute to low morale among literacy facilitators. Based on this analysis, Suggestion across institutional, governmental, and community dimensions to enhance facilitator motivation and effectiveness. These include improving physical learning environments, establishing fair compensation frameworks, implementing regular professional development programs, fostering participatory governance, and developing evidence-based monitoring systems. This conceptual analysis contributes to the broader discourse on educational quality by highlighting the interconnectedness between facilitator wellbeing and literacy program effectiveness, ultimately advocating for systemic interventions to support those at the frontline of Nigeria's adult education efforts.
