Independence: Ethics, Morality Necessary For Nigeria’s Growth – Shettima
The Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has called on Nigerians to uphold ethics and morality for the growth of the country.
Kashim Shettima said an ethically and morally sound Nigeria would attract investors, leading to the economic growth of the country.
He stated this on Tuesday while speaking on the Independence Day Webinar organized by the Civil Society for Ethics and Values Development Initiative (CSEVDI), with the theme “Community Engagement for Ethical Transformation, Leadership and Integrity”.
Represented by his Senior Special Assistant on Legal and Compliance Matters, Bashir Maidugu, Shettima noted that ethics are morals are “imperative because a nation’s morals are like the teeth, the more decayed they are, the more it hurts to touch them.”
“The Renewed Hope Agenda of the current government could not be an effective transformative policy without a sincere ethical transformation, authentic leadership and uncompromising integrity at all levels.
“Nigeria is in dire need of a reorientation, a repositioning of Nigeria and Nigerians with respect to the values they should hold dear in order for the nation to be where it ought to be,” Daily Trust quoted Maidugu.
Mr. Tajudeen Toyin-Oke, the Secretary-General of the Civil Society of the Initiative, stated that the organization had been working to make Nigeria an ethically compliant society to restore the country to its lost glory.
