THE Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Stanbic IBTC Plc, Mrs. Sola David-Borha, has blamed the insecurity and other social vices bedeviling the country on neglect of the family unit.

Mrs. David-Borha, who described the family as the foundation of any society, urged parents to reorder their priorities to ensure that their children grow up in the right path.

At the Sisters’ Convention organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (Harvest House Area), two weeks ago, in Abuja with the theme ‘Above Rubies’, the CEO noted that the country is going through challenging times, adding that women have a role to play in addressing the insecurity challenges in the country.

She said, “we need to bring up our children in the fear of God and respect for the constituted authority. Women are the pillars of every home, they are the ones who keep peace and stability, they should work to ensure stability in the home front and the society.” David-Borha stressed the need for women to be given more opportunity to contribute their quota in the development of the country.

The convener of the programme, Deaconess Moyo Muyiwa-Adebayo, who decried the high level of crime and moral decadence in the society, called on political leaders to seek Godly wisdom in the process of addressing the challenges confronting the nation.

She said: “The Nigeria I knew when I was growing up is no longer the Nigeria of today. In those days, you can leave your children under the care of your neighbour and they are safe, but these days, everybody is afraid of the next person as people are being kidnapped by their loved ones.”
