The National Value Charter, championed by the National Orientation Agency (NOA), is designed to promote national pride and responsible citizenship. The framework outlines both government commitments and citizen responsibilities.
The charter’s “Nigerian Promise” details government commitments to values such as equality, democracy, entrepreneurship, peace, inclusivity, freedom, and meritocracy. Meanwhile, the “Citizen’s Commitment” calls on Nigerians to embrace discipline, accountability, tolerance, leadership, environmental awareness, and resilience.
The NOA intends to drive the campaign through community engagement, sensitisation programmes, and digital platforms, aiming to foster a more united and value-driven society.
