A book, Parent-Teacher Motivational Handbook, is set to berth following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) and the Nigeria Centre for Family Peace Initiative (CFPI).

The MoU was signed to promote quality child education and responsible parenting in schools and homes across the country, according to a statement issued by the two organisations. 

Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, who wrote the Foreword to the book  said about it “is a treasure to be well guarded as it contains well thought out quotes that have the inherent capacity to make our world the ideal.”

Similarly, the National President of NCWS, Chief (Mrs.) Gloria Laraba Shoda, Mni, said that women as mothers, being the first and most important teachers of children, would benefit from the book as it has the capacity to positively impact parents and teachers for the common good of children and the nation.

On his part, Executive Director, Centre for Family Peace Initiative, Mr. Chinedum Ikogwe, the former Abuja Bureau Chief of Ovation International Magazine, who compiled the book, said the book was conceived to address one of the four core advocacy concerns of his organisation which is parenting and chid development. Mr. Ikogwe lamented the precarious state of educational system, as well as the prevailing weak family structure in Nigeria, adding that today’s children are at great risk. 

He, therefore, stressed on the need for all stakeholders to motivate and encourage parents and teachers to rise to their responsibilities to children and to the nation.
