Educating public and government personnel, fostering an ethical climate, and decreasing conflicts of interest are all priorities for Nigeria's Vice President, Mr. Kashim Shetima.
Mr. Kashim Shetima, vice president of Nigeria, has stressed the need of policies and initiatives aimed at preventing corruption by educating the public and government officials, fostering an ethical culture, and decreasing the prevalence of conflicts of interest.
Vice President Kashim Shetima of Nigeria has called for policies and initiatives to educate the public and government officials, foster an ethical climate, and lessen the prevalence of conflicts of interest in public service.
This was stated by Vice President Kashim Shetima during the Webinar Seminar on Ethics and Values that was hosted by the Civil Society for Ethics and Values Development Initiative in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, to commemorate the Nigerian Independence Anniversary.
Transforming Nigerian society, addressing corruption, and ensuring a better living environment for Nigerians are all goals of Mr. Shetima's explanation of the importance of effective ethics and values.
Every industry will benefit from a strong national culture. An attitude that proclaims that money is for living a moderate, decent, and respectable life and for supporting those who are underprivileged might replace an unchecked need to gain more and more with a value-based life.
We shouldn't try to change Nigerians' habits. A return to the good principles that have long guided Nigeria's governmental and business sectors is urgently required. Vice President Kashim Shetima stated, "Our national life will be enhanced in image and character if institutions and individuals collaborate effectively in the reorientation for positive values."
Under the guidance of his Senior Assistant on Legal Research and Compliance Matters, Mr. Bashir Madugu, Mr. Shetima emphasizes that the ethical compass and moral framework of the Nigerian people play a pivotal role in the country's societal, political, and economic progress.
At the end of the day, competency should take precedence over other feelings. North or south, Christian or Muslim, should no longer be the center of our narrative. No one is anything other than a Nigerian.
Eliminating the conflict between residency and 'indigene' requires us to prioritize collective rights over individual rights. This is because, as a matter of logic, individual rights will flourish and prevail if collective rights are met.
A revolutionary policy drive, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda seeks to rebrand Nigeria as an attractive location for international business. A nation's economic, political, and social development are significantly influenced by its citizens' value system, ethical orientation, and behavioral pattern. Every aspect of a perfect nation strives for progress, including the moral, political, and economic spheres. The VP also mentioned.
Similarly, Dr. Jamila Ibrahim, the Minister of Youths Development in Nigeria, stressed the significance of parents, communities, and religious organizations in upholding moral values in society through the remarks of her Special Assistant, Mr. Despan Kwardem.
We apply his rules and ethics when it's about him, but we lower the bar when it comes to those people, and it will lead us nowhere. This is true of all groups: churches, mosques, cultural traditional institutions, and so on. However, when we design a man with a red car, his rules and ethics are different from those of his group.
In an effort to reshape the country's youth in regard to ethics and moral principles, Mr. Kwardem draws attention to a number of programs launched by the government of Nigeria.
"We are now implementing a new national policy, and as a result, we have decided to try again some of the things that we failed to do when we were younger due to a lack of interest or resources. The minister recently voiced his displeasure with the lack of a structured mentoring program in Nigeria, so we are reevaluating our youth policy and planning how to implement it."
Mr. Tajudeen Oke, Secretary General of the Civil Society for Ethics and Values, lays out the goals of the meeting.
''We are doing it as part of our contribution to the Nigerian Sixty-four Independent Anniversary. We called it "Let us talk ethics on Independent Day."'' The Secretary General stated that they felt the need to bring attention to the importance of ethics in nation building and development in Nigeria because they realized the country is facing an ethical dilemma and things are not going according to plan in terms of doing the right things at the right time.
For the first time ever, people from all over the globe gathered for a webinar conference to discuss how to uphold ethical standards in Nigeria.
