The governor noted that the move is aimed at strengthening government operations and fostering unity within the workforce.

He said the celebration provides an opportunity to reflect on the responsibilities of men as family heads, role models, and contributors to societal development.

Nwifuru urged fathers and men in leadership positions to continue setting positive examples in their homes, religious institutions, and communities.

He commended their commitment to family values, faith, and community growth, noting that such efforts help strengthen the moral fabric of society.

“At a time when the nation is in need of principled leadership, discipline, and unity, men must continue to demonstrate integrity, sacrifice, and service,” he said.

The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to creating an enabling environment where families can thrive under its People’s Charter of Needs agenda.

He also encouraged women to treat their husbands with respect and dignity, while urging men to uphold values that promote peace, unity, and social harmony.

Nwifuru assured that his government would continue to collaborate with all segments of society to advance development, discipline, and moral standards in the state.
