The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has constituted a committee to finalise Nigeria’s Values Charter which is expected to represents a social contract between the country and its citizens.
This is contained in the statement issued by the Deputy Director of Press in the Ministry, Suleiman Haruna on Wednesday in Abuja.
“It will serve as a blueprint and policy for a national value system, defining us as Nigerians and undergirding our personality as citizens.
“The committee, which has two weeks to submit its report include Dr Muhammed Auwal-Haruna as Chairman, Dr Biodun Adeniyi as Deputy Chairman.
“Other members are Dr Otive Igbuzor, Dr Emma Agu, Dr Grace Awoleye, Dr Monday Philip, Dr Tunji Azeez, Dr Naima Aminu and Nkechi Ali Balogun
“However, Mrs Theresa Nnalue, Director of Orientation and Behavioural Modification of the National Orientation Agency will coordinate the committee,” he said.
He explained that the new policy, to be unveiled in early 2024 by President Bola Tinubu, consists of the Nigerian Promise and the Citizen Codes, which have seven pillars each.
