National Development: Shettima makes case for marriage counselling
Vice-President Kashim Shettima has emphasised the importance of marriage counselling in equipping couples with the necessary knowledge and skills to build stable homes.
This recommendation was made during the Muslim Family Summit held in Abuja, where Shettima was represented by Aliyu Modibbo Umar, Special Adviser to the President of General Duties.
In a statement on Sunday by Mr Stanley Nkwocha, spokesperson for the Vice-President, Shettima stressed the significance of returning to core family values, citing them as the cornerstone for national development.
“These values include love and mercy between spouses, maintaining harmony and balance at home, and viewing marriage as a spiritual commitment and act of worship.”
Additionally, Shettima highlighted the importance of kindness, good character, seeking knowledge and guidance, and recognising the family’s responsibility in shaping individuals and society.
Shettima noted that reinforcing traditional family structures was crucial in addressing Nigeria’s pressing social and economic challenges.
He explained, “Its mission is more than a reality check—it is a guide, steering us towards embracing marriage not just as a worldly institution but as an act of worship.”
Drawing from Islamic principles, he reminded the audience that marriage is a source of tranquillity, and the family serves as the pillar of moral and social order in society.
Shettima urged the Ummah to guide the current generation of couples, expressing hope in the gathering of scholars and experts sharing best practices rooted in the Qur’an and Hadith.
He emphasised that adherence to these teachings could provide solutions to many social issues facing the nation, stating, “When we build the family on the wrong foundation, we risk losing everything.
“But when we raise it upon sound Islamic principles, it becomes a fortress that preserves the values we hold dear.”
