Ntufam Rt. Hon. Daniel Asuquo felicitates with the Nigerian Children on Children’s Day, calls for a return to traditional values

In a heartfelt address on May 27th, Children’s Day, Ntufam Rt. Hon. Daniel Asuquo praised the resilience of Nigerian children and emphasized the importance of returning to traditional African values in their upbringing. Reflecting on his own experiences growing up, Asuquo highlighted the pivotal role that parental guidance and community discipline played in shaping responsible adults.

“During my childhood, our parents took the responsibility of our training with great devotion,” Asuquo recalled. “Discipline was a clarion call everywhere, and we took it seriously. The biblical injunction, ‘do not spare the rod and spoil the child,’ was almost a mantra. I am grateful for that upbringing because it has made me who I am today.”

Asuquo stressed that while times have changed, the principles that guided past generations should not be abandoned. He noted that it is impossible to recreate the past, but it is entirely within our power to forge a better future for our children. “We must give our best by creating a future for our children better than the one we inherited,” he urged.

Central to Asuquo’s vision for a better future is the creation of wealth through meaningful programmes, employment opportunities, and empowerment initiatives. He believes these measures will provide families with the means to better their lives and prepare their children for a prosperous future. “Wealth creation is crucial,” Asuquo stated. “Through employment and empowerment programmes, we can offer everyone the chance to improve their family’s lot and secure a brighter future for their children.”

The former lawmaker emphasized the importance of instilling good values in children, such as thrift, industry, discipline, and hard work. He noted that these values are foundational to developing self-reliant and responsible individuals. “Planting good values in our children is essential,” Asuquo said. “We must teach them the importance of hard work, discipline, and self-reliance.”

Asuquo’s message resonated with many, as he highlighted the stark contrast between the disciplined upbringing of previous generations and the current trend of lax parenting. He called on parents to recommit to their roles as primary educators and disciplinarians in their children’s lives. “Parents must once again take up the mantle of primary educators and disciplinarians,” he insisted. “Our children’s future depends on it.”

In his address, Asuquo also called for a community-wide effort to support the upbringing of children. He suggested that schools, religious institutions, and community organizations work together to reinforce the values taught at home. “It takes a village to raise a child,” Asuquo reminded his audience. “Our schools, churches, and community groups must all play a role in nurturing the next generation.”

Asuquo’s vision extends beyond immediate family and community, advocating for policies that support families and children at the national level. He called on policymakers to prioritize education, healthcare, and social services to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed. “Our government must invest in the future of our children,” he said. “Education, healthcare, and social services are critical areas that need our attention and resources.”

In conclusion, Asuquo reiterated his commitment to championing the cause of children and their families through meaningful engagement and partnership. He pledged to continue advocating for policies and programs that support their well-being and development. “I will remain steadfast in my efforts to support our children and their families,” Asuquo promised. “Together, we can build a brighter future for the next generation.”

Ntufam Rt. Hon. Daniel Asuquo’s Children’s Day address serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring value of traditional African principles in raising responsible, self-reliant individuals. His call to action encourages all Nigerians, and indeed all Africans, to embrace these values and work collectively towards a better future for their children.
