The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, stated this while addressing State House reporters after Monday’s FEC meeting.
Mallam Idris said the federal government is worried about the “decline that we have seen in our value system.”
“Council has noted the gradual erosion of our values, especially among the younger ones, and this is giving rise to a kind of misbehaviour and act that are not in tune with our traditions and norms.
“Council has noted that there is need for strengthening and going back to the core value that Nigeria is known for over time for which we know that there has been some form of decline. Now this would also help to create the ambassadors of this country that Nigeria seeks to have.”
He also said there was the approval of inclusion of National Value Charter and national symbols to be made mandatory not just in our curriculum but in the teaching of civic education.
