How Nigeria Can Succeed —Uduaghan

Delta State Governor,  Emmanuel Uduaghan, on Tuesday stressed the need for the nation to build its foundation on ethics and values to succeed.

The governor said this when the Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Ethics and Values, Mrs Sarah Jubril, visited the Government House in Asaba.

He said the state would work with stakeholders and support the programme to translate these ethics and values into the lives of the people.

He charged the Commissioner for Information, Mr Chike Ogeah, to liaise with Jubril and other state coordinators of the programme to workout modalities on how the state could key into the programme.

“The issue you are taking on is quite a tough one, if the issues of ethics and values which I believe are the foundation of our nation, if our nation wants to succeed it should look at issues of ethics and values.”

Uduaghan assured that the state would give all necessary assistance required for the programme to succeed.

Earlier, Jubril explained the activities of her office to the governor, saying the programme would be developed in indigenous languages to disseminate the message and build the necessary virtue in the people.

She said ethics and values were vital tools when combined with infrastructure development for building a strong and united nation, noting that ethics would not work with empty stomach, adding that messages would be translated into local languages to builds integrity and goodwill among the people.
