“Train your children to become vanguards of national development” – Olowu-Kuta charges parents

The Olowu of Kuta, Oba Adekunle Oyelude Makama, has called on parents to prioritize the training and nurturing of their children to become vanguards of national development.

He made this remark during a Christmas carol organized by the Olori Abebi Oba Makama Foundation led by his wife, Olori Oluwaseyi Abebi Oyelude Makama, held on Thursday, December 19th at his Kuta palace.

In his address, Oba Makama highlighted the critical role parents play in shaping a progressive society.

“Parents should watch over their wards and train them to become vanguards of development rather than allowing them to stray and become catalysts of destruction. Among these children, we don’t know who will emerge as future leaders. Let us nurture them to contribute positively to society,” he said.

The monarch concluded by wishing the children a peaceful and successful festive season.

Earlier, the founder of the Olori Abebi Oba Makama Foundation, Olori Oluwaseyi Abebi Oyelude Makama, explained that the program was specifically designed to bring joy and happiness to the children.
