OWERRI, Nigeria (NPA) — Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has extended warm felicitations to fathers in the southeastern state and across Nigeria on the occasion of the 2026 Father’s Day celebration.

“I extend my warm felicitations to our fathers in Imo State and across Nigeria as we commemorate the 2026 Father’s Day. This occasion rightly honors the noble task of fatherhood in building, nurturing, and sustaining our society,” the governor said.

He noted that as heads of families, fathers have consistently demonstrated remarkable dedication, responsibility, and commitment to shaping a better and more stable society.

Uzodimma’s tribute comes at a time when fathers are confronted with the herculean task of providing for their families amidst spiraling inflation and its attendant consequences, including high costs of food, rent, school fees, medical care, and other essentials, which have stretched many to breaking point.

The governor prayed that God continues to grant fathers strength, wisdom, and grace to carry out their responsibilities with greater impact. “Your role remains indispensable in fostering values that strengthen both family and nation,” he said.

He further noted that the reforms, policies, and programs of his administration are focused on driving economic growth and improving the quality of life for the people. “These efforts complement your enduring contributions toward building the society we all desire,” Uzodimma added.
