First Think of How you Can Contribute to Nigeria's Development Before You Ask For Change I Promised- Buhari
Category: Nigeria National News
President Muhammadu Buhari during the launch of a national re-orientation campaign, on Thursday tagged "Change Begins With Me" tasked Nigerians to first think about
how they could contribute to the nation’s development as individuals,
before asking about the change his administration promised them.
President Buhari said;
“Before you ask ‘where is the change they promised us’, you must
first ask ‘what have I done to be part of the change for the greater
good of society,’”
The “Change Begins With Me” campaign, is a
framework to help sustain the achievements the present administration in its fight against corruption. The campaign was conceived by the Federal Ministry of Information,
Culture, and National Orientation to raise the standard of ethics among
Nigerians.
Buhari during his speech further stressed that,
“Nigeria today is passing through a challenging moment where hardly
anything works in a normal manner,”
He said the nation’s value system has been badly eroded over the
years, and that virtues like honesty, integrity, hard-work, punctuality,
good-neighbourliness, abhorrence of corruption and patriotism, had
given way to dishonesty, indolence, unbridled corruption and widespread
impunity.
The president called on Nigerians to support the campaign, which he
said was “part of the determination of our party to seek to carry all
Nigerians along on the journey to a better and greater society that we
all can be proud of.”
He said the change being envisaged wasn’t only about economic and
social progress, but also about personal behaviour – how Nigerians could
conduct themselves, engage their neighbours, friends, and relate with
the society in a positive way.
“Indeed when the campaign succeeds, it will impact heavily on the
private sector. A punctual, diligent and hardworking staff can only be
of benefit not just to himself or herself or the organization they work
for but to various governments whether at local, state or federal
level.”
