that strengthen the family, and build a society, describing them as “custodians of our values and of social ideals.’’
“I, however, wish to call on all our religious leaders and organizations, both Christian and Muslim, to follow suit by redirecting important elements of their preaching and teachings on family issues with a view to broadening the sensitization of people at the grassroots level,’’ he said. “Our administration introduced a number of economic empowerment and poverty alleviation schemes. Some of these directly impact families while others have an indirect effect on families through their multiplier effects.
“The school feeding programme has assisted immensely in supporting poor Nigerian families in getting their children enrolled and sustained in school,’’ he said. The President said most of the challenges affecting the family fall within the mandates and jurisdictions of the state governments, urging the governments to rise up to the challenges and do their full parts in the effort for social regeneration.
