Chairman, Warri South Local Government Area, Dr. Michael Tidi, has tasked Parents and guardians on the need to build solid family units and inculcate sound moral values on their children and wards.

Tidi, who gave the charge in a message to mark this year’s children’s day, said that since children are the future generation, it was necessary for the elderly people in the society to change the narrative of desperation for materialism, to respect for merit, credibility and hardwork.

The Warri South Council Boss, also called on individuals and institutions to create avenues for celebrating children with moral uprightness, penchant for academic excellence and apparent inventive instincts.

Tidi stressed that this would go a long way in laying the foundation for Nigeria to attain industrial growth and infrastructural development.

He admonished children to put God first in everything they do, adding that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and “wisdom is the principal thing as attested to by the scripture.”
