The observance that honors mothers in Nigeria does not adhere to a fixed date. It is celebrated annually, typically on the second Sunday in May. Consequently, the date varies each year, requiring specific calendar reference for accurate determination.
This celebration provides an opportunity to express gratitude and appreciation for maternal figures. It often involves family gatherings, gift-giving, and special acknowledgments of mothers’ contributions to families and society. Understanding its timing allows for planning and preparation to appropriately mark the occasion.
