On this special occasion of Mother’s Day, I extend my warmest felicitations to all the incredible mothers in Edo State, Nigeria, and around the world. Today, we celebrate the immeasurable love, dedication, and sacrifices of mothers—who serve as the foundation of our families and the heartbeat of our society.
Mothers are the first nurturers, the guiding lights in our lives, and the unwavering sources of love and strength. They embody resilience in the face of challenges, provide comfort in difficult times, and instill in us the values that shape our future. Whether as caregivers, educators, professionals, or leaders, mothers continue to play a vital role in building strong families and communities, fostering peace, and driving societal progress.
This day is a reminder for all of us to appreciate and support the mothers and mother figures in our lives. We must work collectively to create a society where women and mothers are valued, protected, and given the opportunities they deserve to thrive. Investing in maternal health, education, and economic empowerment is not just a responsibility but a necessity for the progress of our great state and nation.
As we celebrate today, I encourage everyone to take a moment to honor and appreciate the mothers in their lives—whether through words, gestures of kindness, or acts of service. To all the mothers, grandmothers, and caregivers, your dedication does not go unnoticed, and your impact is beyond measure.
Happy Mother’s Day! May your lives be filled with love, good health, and endless blessings.
