President Bola Tinubu has said he wished that parents would begin to reinforce the family unit where the sacred values of honesty, modesty, hard work and charity are passed down to children who are the shining lights of the future.

He said society is a reflection of each family unit as a collective, urging the preservation of those principles that make us a wholesome, nurturing, and thriving nation.

The President bared his thoughts in a statement to commemorate the Children’s Day, describing them as the bearers of the nation’s torch into the future.

The President, while rejoicing with parents, guardians, and families across the nation, said his administration is sparing no effort in ensuring that Nigerian children have a solid footing for the realisation of their dreams.

He said with increased investments in education and the recent overhauling of the entire education system to provide both human and material resources for learning, as well as the efforts of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education to get the nation’s precious gifts off the streets, his administration will continue to expand access to qualitative education for all Nigerians.

The President also reassured the nation of his commitment to ensuring a safe and secure ambience of learning for the children while improving the standard of education.

” I want to call for a reinforcement of the family unit as a place where the sacred values of honesty, modesty, hard work and charity are passed down to the shining lights of tomorrow,”

Tinubu made the call in a statement circulated by Ajuri Ngelale, his Special Adviser on Media & Publicity today.
