The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has announced the ministry would soon commence the implementation of the National Values Charter.
Mohammed Idris said the National Values Charter was in line with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to fostering moral, ethical, and cultural reawakening by instilling the right values, attitudes, and perspectives in the hearts and minds of all Nigerians.
Idris stated this in Abuja on Wednesday while declaring open the expanded retreat of the National Orientation Agency (NOA).
He explained that the National Values Charter was carefully crafted and designed to ensure that all Nigerians are fully aware of their rights and protections under the constitution and the laws of the land and that governments at all levels are equally aware of all the constitutionally guaranteed obligations that they have to the citizenry.
“On the one hand, to ensure that all Nigerians are fully aware of their rights and protections under the constitution and the laws of the land and that governments at all levels are equally aware of all the constitutionally guaranteed obligations that they have to the citizenry. This first goal is encapsulated in the seven (7) ‘Core Promises’ aspect of the Charter.
“On the other hand, to sensitize and awaken all Nigerians to all of our responsibilities as citizens of this great and beautiful country which means the responsibilities that we have not just to one another, but also to the government and the nation. This second goal is captured in the seven (7) ‘Commitments’ aspect of the Charter,” he said.
Idris pledged to press forward boldly and confidently with the determination to foster a country where citizens and the country share deep mutual love and respect for each other.
The Minister said NOA has become one of the most essential tools for shaping national narratives and conversations, promoting unity against a backdrop of diversity, and fostering a sense of inclusiveness and belonging in every part of the country.
“I am very pleased to note that the NOA, under the leadership of Mr. Lanre Issa-Onilu, has prioritized technology in the work of the Agency, in keeping with the realities of the 21st century.
“The NOA has become one of the most technology-compliant agencies in Nigeria today, taking the lead in the deployment of digital tools and technologies like The Mobiliser App, as well as a well-received Artificial Intelligence platform for civic awareness and engagement, among other initiatives,” his address published on his X handle concluded.
