Anambra Deputy Governor Tasks Mothers On Proper Child Grooming

The Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim has called on mothers to wake up to their duty of ideal child grooming for a better and livable society.

The Deputy Governor made the call at the Chapel of Redemption Anglican Church, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, during the 2024 Mothering Sunday Celebration with the theme, “I Will Not Let You Go Unless You Bless Me”.

Ibezim who regretted that most mothers in this dispensation have failed in their primary responsibility of proper child upbringing which according to him is evident in the behaviors of most youths today, said it is high time everybody joined hands to build the society for the good of all.

Dr Ibezim commended mothers who are playing their parts and making sacrifices for their homes and the society at large, describing them as the type of women that the world needs presently.

He used the opportunity to call on Nigerians to always pray for the country, pointing out that through prayers things will change for good, even as he assured Anambra citizens that the government of Professor Chukwuma Soludo will continue to do the needful to better the lives of the citizenry.

Earlier in a sermon, Evangelist Ifenna Chibuzo a guest speaker and a mother, who spoke on the theme of the special service, encouraged Christians to always depend on God and make their needs known to Him through fervent prayers. She reminded them that God will always answer them if they have unwavering faith in Him.

The service featured choir renditions, special song presentations by the mothers, prayers for the church, Anambra State and Nigeria, as well as the cutting of the 2024 Mothering Sunday’s cake.
