As Mothers’ Day is celebrated, the House of Representatives’ Press Corps, under the chair of Grace Ike, has called for mothers everywhere to be celebrated and honoured for the great work they continue to do as caregivers, nation builders, and agents of change.

This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Sunday in commemoration of this year’s Mother’s Day

Grace Ike emphasized the invaluable contributions of mothers to families and nation, urging honour for them on account of the work and sacrifices made on behalf of their children and in championing inclusivity and nurturing the home front.

According to the gender rights activist, “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 inclusivity, Grace Ike charged mothers with the essential task of prioritizing the well-being of their families.

Emphasizing the importance of cultivating loving relationships with husbands and nurturing environments for children to thrive, she said mothers played a pivotal role in shaping the future of society.

“It is imperative that we honour their sacrifices and contributions, not only on Mothers’ Day but also every day. Let us cherish and support the mothers in our lives, recognizing their resilience and unwavering love. Mothers are the cornerstones of our families and the bedrock of our nation.”

The Corps extended its warmest wishes to all mothers on this special day, calling on us all to celebrate the enduring spirit of motherhood and work òtowards building a more inclusive and compassionate world for future generations.
