In her address, Aribidesi described devoted mothers as self-sacrificing women who dedicate their time, efforts, and resources to the upbringing of their children.
“As a mother, it is important we understand the generation our children belong and their characteristics, as our roles does not change irrespective to our generation.
“A number of issues we have today starts from the home. A well brought up child makes the family proud and goes to the society to transform the society for better,” she said.
Aribidesi quoted the Holy Prophet Muhammad as saying that: “A mother is a school. If she is well versed, the whole family will be well versed.”
Also speaking, the National President of the Society, Alhaji Rasheed Yusuf, said the global community through the United Nations Organisations has placed great value on Motherhood for their immense contributions to human development.
He commended the women for their efforts and spiritual roles in shaping the younger ones from cradle to adulthood.
