IMO DEPUTY GOVERNOR CELEBRATES PARENTS ON GLOBAL DAY OF PARENTS by Uche Onwuchekwa

IMO DEPUTY GOVERNOR CELEBRATES PARENTS ON GLOBAL DAY OF PARENTS

As the world celebrates the Global Day of Parents, the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere has joined other eminent citizens around the world to appreciate parents for living up to their parental responsibilities while calling on fathers to pay closer attention to the upbringing of their children.

Prince Madumere remarked that Global Day of Parents is a special day observed on June 1 of every year to honour and appreciate parents in all parts of the world for their selfless commitment to children and their lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing this relationship.

He therefore called on all and sundry to always celebrate parents to reciprocate their love, care with huge psychological and material investments they committed towards bringing them up.

He however called on the fathers who ordinarily feel their role ends with working out money for the family to look into the grey areas of instilling morals and values into the children, saying that mothers are over-burdened by domestic chores coupled with the grooming of the children.

He also emphasized the importance of family, which he described as a natural unit and basis of the society but posited that without the role of parents, the concept and place of family and society would be a mere farce.

He therefore called on everyone especially those whose parents are still living to take the welfare and the general well-being their uppermost responsibility; while submitting that posterity and natural justice will not kindly remember those who fail in this onerous responsibility.
