You’re The Backbone Of Our Society, Fubara Salutes Mothers On Mothering Sunday

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has  felicitated with all mothers in Rivers State on the occasion of Mothering Sunday.

In a goodwill message to commemorate the day,  the governor paid glowing tributes to  the womenfolk,  acknowledging  the strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment of mothers to nurturing children, the  future leaders of the nation.

This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Onwuka Nzeshi.

“On behalf of the government and people of Rivers State,  I warmly greet all mothers  on the occasion of Mothering Sunday.

“We celebrate the selfless love, care, and sacrifices of mothers across our great State. Your tireless efforts in shaping families and communities are truly the backbone of our society,” the governor  said.

In Nigeria, Mothering Sunday  is a widely celebrated religious and social event, observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent  in many churches,  especially the  Anglican Communion.

The day is set aside to honour mothers and maternal figures, blending traditional church services with family gatherings, gift-giving, and special recognition for the contributions of mothers to the family and society.
