The House of Representatives Press Corps, under the leadership of Chairperson, Grace Ike, has said that the contribution of mothers to the families and the nation are invaluable.
Ike in a statement issued on Sunday to commemorate this year’s Mother’s Day called for mothers everywhere to be celebrated and honored for the great work they continue to do as caregivers, nation builders, and agents of change.
She noted: “Motherhood is a journey that requires balancing multiple responsibilities and challenges. Despite these challenges, mothers are relentless in their pursuit of creating inclusive environments and fostering harmony within their families.
“The resilience and strength of mothers, both within the confines of their homes and in the broader context of nation-building, should be acknowledged and celebrated.”
In addition to advocating for inclusivity, Ike charges mothers with the essential task of prioritising the well-being of their families.
She noted: “It is imperative that we honor their sacrifices and contributions, not only on Mothers’ Day but every day. Let us cherish and support the mothers in our lives, recognizing their resilience and unwavering love. Mothers are the cornerstone of our families and the bedrock of our nation,” adds Chairperson Grace Ike.”
