Anambra Governor’s wife, Mrs. Nonye Soludo, says parenting has gone from being just a responsibility to a family unit to a task for the overall good of the larger society.

Mrs. Soludo stated this in a statement released in Awka to celebrate parents on the 2023 Global Day of Parents.

The governor’s wife, while describing parents as important stakeholders in the social progress of any society, noted that parental responsibilities have also increased greatly with changing human and environmental factors, including culture, traditions, migration, technology and education.

She said that parents must also understand sensitive aspects of their jobs, and show more commitment to family and raising the right children.

Mrs Soludo also explained that it is important for parents to teach their children and wards the basic etiquettes of life, culture and traditions, including their mother tongues, dialects, love, patience, respect for constituted authorities, hygiene and personal cleanliness, hard work and communalism.

The governor’s wife also urged parents to begin to see parenthood as a rare blessing, pointing out that one failed home is one of society’s greatest loss.

While wishing all parents in Anambra State and around the world a and worthy fulfilled home, the Anambra first lady implored them to always live a life they will reflect a good example for those looking up to them.
