The House of Representatives Press Corps has called for mothers to be celebrated and honoured for the great work they do as caregivers, nation builders, and agents of change.

Chairperson, Grace Ike emphasized the invaluable contributions of mothers to families and nation, urging them to honour their 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,” she said

In addition to advocating for inclusivity, Ike charges 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 play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our society.

“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,” Ike added.

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