The proper upbringing of children is essential if parents and guardians hope to groom the youth to provide credible leadership in future.
This assertion was made by the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke on Saturday, in an address he delivered at the opening ceremony of the Ishrat 2019 and Kiddies sports in Ibadan, Nigeria.
''Infant mortality and maternal mortality rate must reduce, adequate funding and scripture compliant religious exercise must be sought, while Government, Society and Parents must uphold the culture of observing the seven codes of child rearing-Value, Protection, Safety, Respect, Inclusion, Hearing or giving attetnion as well as giving freedom to manage the growth of children from infancy to adolesence. This is to produce virile and versatile youth that will be capable of offering service, direction and sacrifice in leadership for good governance''.
''It will make children to know and uphold their rights and would avail them the opportunity to relate even theoretical lessons in school, to real life situations as expected of funcitonal education and good citizenry. Government, the Media, Parents, Institutions of learning, Professional bodies, Security agencies, Sports Administrators and Voluntary organizations must adopt and adapt it as a culture to be able to bring out the best out of children for future credible leadership and good governance for sustainable development'', Prof. Olagoke stated.
