The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has launched a two-week nationwide campaign focusing on security awareness, disaster preparedness, and national identity, government policies and national values.
Speaking at a press conference held at the NOA Headquarters in Abuja, the Director General of the Agency, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, stated that the nationwide enlightenment campaign is designed to tackle some of the most critical issues facing the country today.
He stressed that the initiative represents a coordinated national reawakening that speaks directly to the core of Nigeria’s identity, safety, values and development.
Issa-Onilu noted that the nationwide civic engagement will cut across all 36 states and the FCT, reaching the 774 LGAs through press conferences and grassroots outreach in markets, schools, motor parks, religious centres, and community halls.
He noted that relevant materials in English and major Nigerian languages will be widely distributed, while daily radio, TV, and social media campaigns will be conducted to reach Nigerians nationwide.
He urged the media, traditional and religious leaders, civil society groups, student organizations, and all community stakeholders to support the agency in achieving the goal even as feedback channels, including toll-free lines, will be established to encourage citizen engagement.
