As the International community observes Father’s Day, the Speaker Anambra State House of Assembly, Right Honourable Somtochukwu Udeze has enjoined fathers to lead their families with sound morals and other virtues expected of responsible fathers and shun acts capable of debasing fatherhood.

 

 

 

In his Message to fathers especially those in the Anglican Communion who also commemorate their day, Right Honourable Udeze extolled the contributions of fathers to the peace and progress of families and urged them to always work towards breeding responsible children.

 

 

 

The Speaker encouraged fathers not to relent amid several discouragements, but to continue to offer their best to their families, reminding them that the family units are looking up to them for provision, guide and protection.

 

 

 

He charged Mothers to complement the efforts of fathers in the upkeep of their homes by showing more love and respect to their husbands as a source of encouragement.

 

 

 

On the International Day of the African Child which is also being observed today, Right Honourable Udeze called on government at different levels to implement the Child’s Right Act to reposition the future of the children of the country.

 

 

 

While calling on African Nations to show more commitment towards providing quality education to every child in Africa, the Speaker commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo for his efforts in ensuring that education in the State conforms with international standards.
