NYSC urges aggressive campaign on moral rectitude among youths
By Chinedum Treasure
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Anambra state has called for intensified efforts toward promoting moral rectitude among Nigerian youths, stressing the need for strategic sensitisation to address societal ills.
State Coordinator, Mrs. Pauline Ojisua made the call while receiving the State Director of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Barr. Mrs. Ifeoma Chijioke, during a courtesy visit to the NYSC state Secretariat.
She noted that while challenges such as drug abuse remain important, greater emphasis should be placed on instilling sound values and correcting negative behaviours among young people through deliberate orientation programmes.
According to her, NYSC provides a veritable platform to shape the mindset of youths, particularly members of Generation Z, in order to secure a more responsible and value-driven Generation Alpha.
“We should focus more on moral rectitude. Through proper sensitisation, we can correct many of the ills prevalent among our youths. If we get it right with Gen Z, we will certainly get it right with Generation Alpha,” she stated.
The State Coordinator further commended NOA for its longstanding partnership with NYSC, describing the agency as a dependable collaborator that has consistently contributed to the success of its programmes in the state.
Earlier, NOA State Director, Barr. Mrs. Ifeoma Chijioke, said the visit was aimed at strengthening collaboration between both agencies.
She described NYSC as a core partner and reiterated NOA’s commitment to fostering value reorientation and national development through joint initiatives.
The visit featured exchange of souvenirs as a symbol of goodwill. The NOA Director presented a National Identity Booklet to the NYSC State Coordinator, while Mrs. Ojisua, in turn, presented the AnambraKopa Magazine to the NOA Director.
The engagement highlights the shared resolve of both organisations to deepen collaboration in promoting youth development and nation-building in the State.
