Wives of the Vice president, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo and that of the Lagos State governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode on Saturday said there was an urgent need to inculcate right virtues in the citizenry from the home front to re -position the country for rapid development.

The duo who spoke at the 2015 Arise Women Conference which held at the City of David Parish of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Victoria Island in Lagos, agreed that teaching of right virtues from the home front is a major foundation of setting the country on sound footing.

Mrs. Ambode said it was important for women to teach their children virtues of honesty, morality, hard work and good character.

She explained that women occupy a sensitive and strategic place in the life of any nation and it was therefore important for them to inculcate right virtues in their children, beginning from the home front.

Ambode observed that the family mirrors the society and that explains why nations all over the world, largely reflect the quality of respective families that make up the country.

“As women and managers of the home front, all eyes are on us, to take good care of our husbands; and bring up our children in the fear of God. We must teach them the virtues of honesty, morality, hard work and good character. This is for them to grow up to become productive and God-fearing citizens, for the good of our society,” she said.
