Security expert Moruf Yusuf, popularly known as Ojogbon, has underscored the importance of responsible parenting, stating that the values and character instilled in children today will determine the safety and stability of society tomorrow.
The message is contained in Series #101 of The Secure Mind, his daily security awareness campaign focused on promoting practical safety, responsible citizenship and crime prevention.
According to Yusuf, children develop their values, character and sense of responsibility through the guidance provided by their parents and guardians. He noted that when this responsibility is neglected, the consequences often extend beyond the home, affecting families, communities and society at large.
He explained that children who grow up without proper moral guidance may be more likely to make poor decisions that endanger themselves and others. He therefore urged parents and guardians to continually improve their parenting skills, lead by example and remain actively involved in their children's behaviour, friendships and overall development.
Yusuf stressed that a security-conscious parent balances love with discipline, guidance and accountability, adding that raising responsible children today is an investment in a safer family, a more secure community and a more peaceful society.
"Parenting is the foundation of a safer home, a safer community, and a better society."
