The Chairman Bisho Ubah in his opening remark pointed out that the good society being yearned for is a product of good family building, thus effort should be channeled by teachers, pastors, public intellectuals, parents and guardians to build a strong family by building the children into good characters and behavior. 

According to him, "it is easier to build a child than to repair an adult and in Nigeria today we have adulterated adults and that is why we are facing poor leadership and corruption. But the society is a product  of the families because everybody in the society is from a family including the president, the governors, billionaires and millionaires, as well as criminals such as cultists, kidnappers and armed robbers. It is left for us to build the kind of society we want by positioning our children towards greater heights. So if you want your child to be president or governor or billionaire and millionaire start the work now, start the build up now
