“Let me use this medium to appeal to our children to give education the desired concentration it deserves being the bedrock of any meaningful development.

“We, as parents and leaders, we will make sure we give you the necessary support to succeed. Therefore, do your best because the future is in your hands now,” he advised.

The Governor urged the parents not relent at ensuring proper upbringing of their children for the good of the society and the nation at large.

According to him, proper upbringing is a pathway to producing moral, sound and progressive society, hence the need for parents to play their critical role of mentorship.
