The Governor of Abia State, Dr Alex Otti, has reiterated his commitment to ensuring that families across the state enjoy improved living conditions, access to economic opportunities and sustainable pathways to financial empowerment.
Governor Otti, who stated this during the Second Session of the 7th Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Isiala Ngwa, held at Holy Trinity Church, Ndiolumbe, in Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area, with the theme; “Conflict resolution in Marriage,” called on families to embrace dialogue, patience, forgiveness and mutual understanding as essential tools for resolving conflicts and sustaining peaceful coexistence.
The Governor, represented by his Chief of Staff, Pastor Caleb Ajagba, while identifying peaceful homes and harmonious family relationships as fundamental to building a stable, united and prosperous society, maintained that resolving disputes through dialogue, patience and mutual understanding, rather than confrontation, will strengthen family bonds and promote lasting peace.
The State Chief Executive who identified the family as the foundation of society, disclosed that the ability of couples to resolve their differences amicably contributes significantly to the upbringing of responsible children, the promotion of communal harmony and the overall development of the state.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving the welfare of the people through purposeful leadership and development-oriented policies, stressing that governance should ultimately translate into better living conditions, greater economic opportunities and a more secure future for families across Abia State.
Governor Otti further called on religious institutions, community leaders and other stakeholders to complement government efforts by promoting reconciliation, peaceful relationships and responsible conduct within homes and communities.
The Synod attracted the presence of a former Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr Uche Ogah, alongside religious leaders and other stakeholders who gathered to deliberate on conflict resolution and the importance of dialogue, forgiveness and mutual understanding in sustaining peaceful family relationships and promoting development across Abia State.
