Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Sunday celebrated mothers across Lagos State in commemoration of Mother’s Day, acknowledging their sacrifices and vital contributions to families, communities, and the development of society.
In a message shared on his official X account, Sanwo-Olu appreciated mothers for their resilience, patience, and dedication to raising responsible citizens and nurturing the next generation.
According to the governor, the role of mothers extends far beyond the home, as their care and commitment help shape the future of families and the wider society.
“Today, I want to wish mothers across Lagos a Happy Mother’s Day,” he said.
“One day is hardly enough to appreciate all that mothers do. From the quiet sacrifices made at home to the impact they have across our economy and communities, mothers help shape families and the future of our state.
“To every mother raising the next generation of Lagosians, thank you for your patience, your resilience, and your love.
We see you, and we appreciate you. I hope you have a restful and beautiful day. You deserve it.”

The governor also encouraged mothers to take time to rest and enjoy the appreciation that comes with the special day dedicated to honouring their roles in society.
Mother’s Day is an annual celebration recognising mothers and motherhood, as well as their influence in families, communities, and society at large.
In Nigeria, the day is observed on the second Sunday of May in many states, while some regions align with the global calendar of “Mothering Sunday” celebrated in March.
The occasion is meant to acknowledge the sacrifices, resilience, and contributions of mothers in nurturing families, raising children, and supporting societal growth.
With a population exceeding 20 million people, Lagos State remains Nigeria’s commercial hub, where mothers play a significant role not only in family life but also in sustaining economic activities and community development.
Public officials and leaders often mark the day with messages celebrating mothers and highlighting their importance in shaping the next generation of citizens.
