The National Orientation Agency (NOA) says it will embark on a nationwide sensitisation on the new National Anthem and the Nigeria’s national values charter.

This is contained in a statement on Friday by Mr. Abubakar Argungu, the Head, Public Relations Unit of the agency in Kaduna.

Argungu emphasised that the new national anthem as signed into law by the President Bola Tinubu is one of the most important symbols of Nigeria’s sovereignty which should be accorded respect, internalised and cherished at all times.

He explained that the state’s office of NOA intends to embark on a statewide sensitisation to be conducted over the next three months on all the official symbols of Nigeria’s sovereignty.

He said it was with a view to ensure standardisation and the recently introduced National Values Charter.

The spokesman said the sensitisation would involve town hall meetings, advocacy visits to critical stakeholders, primary, secondary schools, tertiary institutions, road shows and media engagements.

He recalled the agency’s Director General statement, saying that the government of President Tinubu in line with its renewed hope agenda had initiated several policies aimed at addressing Nigeria’s economic and social challenges.

Argungu mentioned some of the key policies to include the students loan scheme, Nigeria Youth Investment Fund and redirection of removed fuel subsidy funds towards more sustainable economic initiatives among others.

According to him, the policies were all in a bid to move the country forward.

He, therefore, urged Nigerians to key into all the various government’s economic and social intervention programs. (NAN)
