Okorocha Urges Nigerians To Engage in, Promote Inter-Ethnic Marriages
Category: Nigeria News
Senator Rochas Okorocha has appealed to Nigerians to engage, promote and
support inter-ethnic marriages among other Nigerians as a means of promoting
peace, unity and understanding in the country.
The former Imo State governor, who was the chairman of an annual public lecture organised on Culture and the Management of Diversity in Nigeria by the National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO), explained that inter-tribal marriage was a sure means of building cross-cultural understanding among Nigerians.
Senator Rochas’s paper at the event which took place on Thursday in Kano was presented by Professor Sunny Ododo, the General Manager, National Theatre.
He argued that with over 400 languages and over 200 ethnic groups, Nigerian’s cultural diversity was certainly an asset which if put to proper use, would translate to benefits in the form of enduring peace and unity among Nigerians.
Citing the establishment of the National Youth Service Corps, the Senate Committee Chairman on Culture and Tourism insisted that the Federal Government has been embarking on measures aimed at promoting intercultural understanding.
