The Federal Government is to unveil a new National Values Charter which will serve as Nigeria’s compass for civic values, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has said. Mr Idris made this known on Thursday at the opening of a one-day capacity-building conference organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) in Abuja . The conference, organised for members of the House of Representatives Committee on Ethics and Privileges, was on “Ethics and Code of Conduct as Tools for Enhanced Legislative Performance in Promoting Good Governance.
” Represented by the Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Lanre Issa-Onilu, Mr Idris said the aim was to entrench the right values and attitudes. “The government of President Bola Tinubu, through the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, is set to launch the National Values Charter, which will serve as Nigeria’s compass for civic values. “NOA has diligently worked to produce a brand-new National Values Charter for our dear country, in line with the President’s commitment to a moral, ethical, and cultural reawakening across the land.
“It is also for the entrenchment of the right values, attitudes, habits and perspectives deep in the hearts and minds of all the people of this great nation,” he said. Support journalism driven by facts, created by Nigerians for Nigerians. Our thorough, researched reporting relies on the suppor.
