The Director General of the National Orientation Agency, NOA, Lanre Onilu, has disclosed plans to introduce nationalism as a compulsory subject in the nation’s education curriculum to help inculcate positive ethics and values in the coming generations.
Onilu stated this in Minna during a familiarisation visit to the Niger State directorate of the agency.
He told journalists that nationalism was a subject that would be introduced in primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions in the country.
He decried the overexposure of children to foreign content through cartoons, saying: “Soon, our agency will soon call for entries from professionals to produce cartoons that promote the local values of our people.
“Also, in no distant future, NOA will launch a mobile app containing indigenous cartoons, as well as those promoting local content, national values, and cultural heritage.”
Onilu also lamented that children in the country have been corrupted by foreign cultures right from their homes.
“Foreign culture has impacted negatively on the ethics and values of indigenous cultures.”
