The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has promised to improve on the welfare of children in the state.
He appealed to parents and guardians to play their roles by bringing up the children in the fear of God.
The governor spoke at the Lagos House,
Alausa, Ikeja, at a children’s party organised by the state government
to mark the end of the year on Tuesday.
He said, “Our administration will continue to give the best to improve on the all-round development of children in the state.
“Our intention is beyond giving our
children good education; we also want to give them good recreation
activities that will make them good successors and great leaders in the
future.”
He also assured residents that the end of the year party would not only be sustained but would be better in subsequent editions.
The governor’s wife, Mrs. Bolanle
Ambode, urged the children to develop good character and grow up to
become responsible citizens.
Mrs. Ambode, who listed the qualities of
a good child to include humility, discipline, respect for elders and
fear of God, said good character would recommend them for great
opportunities in future.
She charged them to take their education
seriously, adding that academic excellence remained the most reliable
stepping stone to success.
The governor’s wife urged mothers to inculcate good morals in their children from a tender age.
