The National Orientation Agency (NOA), led by Director-General Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, has launched a nationwide sensitization campaign in Borno State. The campaign aims to promote patriotism, national unity, and pride, centered on the National Anthem and the National Values Charter.
In his address, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu highlighted the need to rekindle unity and national pride among Nigerians. He urged citizens to embrace these values to contribute to the nation’s growth and stability. According to him, the campaign is crucial for reorienting the public mindset to align with the current policies and programs of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
The campaign focuses on tackling low levels of patriotism, calling for increased citizen participation in nation-building efforts.
As part of the reorientation drive, the campaign underscores the importance of understanding and supporting key policies introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, including:
Economic Revitalization: Boosting local industries, fostering entrepreneurship, and creating jobs to reduce unemployment and improve economic outcomes.
Security Enhancement: Ensuring national security, especially in regions like the Northeast, where insurgency has severely impacted lives.
Education and Health Reform: Expanding access to quality education and healthcare for all Nigerians, regardless of background.
National Unity and Identity: Fostering national cohesion and a shared sense of identity among all citizens, a central tenet of President Tinubu’s vision.
The campaign serves as a powerful reminder of the collective responsibility to uphold values that build a stronger, more unified Nigeria.
End.
