Mothers’ Day: President Jonathan Promises More Affirmative Action In Favour of Nigerian Women

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan wishes all mothers in the
country a very happy Mother’s Day celebration.

As they mark the day set aside worldwide to commemorate mothers
and their great, unique and indispensable service to humanity, President
Jonathan salutes all Nigerian women and mothers.

The President assures them that the Federal Government will
continue to do all within its powers to further empower them to play their
immense, God-given  role for the greater
glory of our dear nation.

As he has promised on many occasions, President
Jonathan  reaffirms that his
administration will continue to progressively strengthen  its affirmative actions in favour of girls,
women and mothers while intensifying its actions aimed at promoting gender
equality in the nation.

The President who attended a special service at the
Presidential Villa to commemorate Mothers’ Day with his mother, Madam Eunice
Jonathan and the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, prays that God Almighty
will bless all Nigerian mothers mightily and reward them for the immense love
and care with which they continue to nurture and raise worthy children on whom
the future prospects of our great nation will depend.
