As the world marks Father’s Day, the Executive Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Comrade Akeem Olalekan Dauda (AKOD), has celebrated fathers across Ikeja and beyond, describing them as the backbone of families and key drivers of societal development.
AKOD noted that fatherhood transcends biology, recognizing political fathers, religious fathers, business fathers, artisan fathers, tech fathers, and other father figures whose sacrifices, mentorship, and leadership continue to positively impact lives and communities.
“Fathers are more than providers; they are protectors, mentors, teachers, role models, and pillars of support. Their guidance, sacrifices, and unwavering commitment to their families and society deserve recognition and appreciation every day,” he said.
The Chairman commended fathers for their resilience, dedication, and invaluable contributions to nation-building, urging them to continue nurturing the values of integrity, hard work, discipline, and compassion in the younger generation.
He also prayed for God’s continued blessings, sound health, wisdom, and prosperity upon all fathers as they celebrate their special day.
“Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and father figures. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed, and your impact remains immeasurable,” AKOD added.
