Delta Monarch To Partner NOA On Restoration Of Lost National Values
The Asagba stated this in his palace when the Delta State Director of National Orientation Agency, Mrs Tracy Ikolomi led her management team to pay him an advocacy visit.
The traditional ruler who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, stressed the need for the National Orientation Agency to do more in sensitizing the young ones on the fundamental human rights as provided for in Chapter Four of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as amended.
”You can create awareness on the fundamental human rights by simplifying the document. In Delta, you should translate in some of the major ethnic languages: Igbo, Urhobos, Itsekiri, Isoko, Ijaw. That is the challenge before you. You have to speak to the people in the language they will understand,” Asagba stated.
The Asagba of Asaba called for more sensitization on the various reforms of the administration of President Bola Tinubu , saying that a lots were being done but not much of awareness on the policies and programmes of the government.
HRM.Azinge stated ,”We believe in moral issues, and insist that things should be done in the right way. We preach and practise accountability and transparency, even at the traditional institution level”
”Your job is to sensitize Nigerians on the major benefits of government policies and programmes.The message is not trickling down . A lot is going on in Abuja, whether you support President Bola Tinubu. A lot of reforms but the sensitization is not trickling down. Communication is very poor”
”All I can say is that I am accessible, I am available, and I am ready to partner with you so that we can get some of these things right”

Charter encapsulated in the acronym “Seven for Seven”. This is a set of seven
reciprocal commitments between the country and citizens in a condensed version
Citizen Code”.
”This programme targets the root causes of those conflicts, promoting social cohesion
aimed at creating an environment conducive to national development and
