Mr. Nami gave the commendation on the occasion of this year\u2019s International Mother\u2019s Day in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n
The FIRS executive chairman commended mothers for their \u201ctenacity of purpose and leadership in situations of distress\u201d like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, stressing that \u201csadly, mothers have become the carriers of the burdens of the society especially in times of insecurity, wars, pandemics, and other socio-economic eventualities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
Mr. Nami called on \u201cgovernments all over the world to evolve programmes of support and empowerment for mothers and their children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
On the part of the FIRS, Mr. Nami disclosed that the Service is \u201csupportive of women and mothers in their respective desire to become professionals in their chosen careers. Today, there are more female directors in the Service than any other time before now. This is our own way of empowering the women and mothers to be able to provide care and support to their families and the society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
He also noted that \u201cthe Federal Government has equally appointed more women into positions of authority than any previous administration. This is heartwarming considering the enormous potentials with which the women are endowed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
Mr. Nami urged all \u201cwomen and mothers to continue to be positive role models by weaning their children off negative vices such as kidnapping, thuggery, thievery, drug abuse, and other forms of criminality. Our women and mothers have a great role to play in bringing an end to the spate of insecurity in our dear country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
The statement reads in full:
\u201cOn the occasion of this year\u2019s International Mother’s Day, I felicitate with the mothers across the world and commend their resilience, tenacity of purpose and leadership especially in situations of distress. I particularly wish to identify with the mothers who are having to grapple with the hardship occasioned by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic which has disrupted businesses globally on which most of them and their children depend for their livelihood.
\u201cI also recognise the position of mothers as the bedrock of the family which is the nucleus of the society. This makes them important in the life of every society as they serve as agents of positive value orientation and social engineering. Sadly, mothers have become the carriers of the burdens of the society especially in times of insecurity, wars, pandemics, and other socio-economic eventualities. I therefore call on governments all over the world to evolve programmes of support and empowerment for mothers and their children.
\u201cWe, at the FIRS, are supportive of women and mothers in their respective desire to become professionals in their chosen careers. Today, there are more female directors in the Service than any other time before now. This is our own way of empowering the women and mothers to be able to provide care and support to their families and the society.
\u201cThe Federal Government has equally appointed more women into positions of authority than any previous administration. This is heartwarming considering the enormous potentials with which the women are endowed. I want to use this occasion to urge women and mothers to continue to be positive role models by weaning their children off negative vices such kidnapping, thuggery, thievery, drug abuse, and other forms of criminality. Our women and mothers have a great role to play in bringing an end to the spate of insecurity in our dear country.
\u201cOnce again, I congratulate all mothers across the world as they mark this year\u2019s International Mother’s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
