Foluke Adeboye Calls for Godly Values in Children's Upbringing

Foluke Adeboye, the wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, called on parents, churches, and other stakeholders to actively instill godly values in children. She made this appeal during her welcome address titled “The Mandate of Kingdom Education in National Transformation” at the annual summit of Christ the Redeemer’s School Management, held at Redemption City of God along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Adeboye stressed that the future of Nigeria relies on how the younger generation is raised, urging parents to collaborate with teachers to develop their children's character and discipline. She warned against excessive pampering and highlighted the need for responsible parenting and discipline.

Adeboye also addressed the importance of improving education in rural communities, stating that many children from these areas have great destinies to fulfill. In a related keynote address, former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili expressed concerns over the state of education in Nigeria, particularly the number of out-of-school children.
