The National Orientation Agency, NOA is set to introduce nationalism as a compulsory subject in the nation’s education curriculum to help inculcate positive ethics and values in the coming generations.
Director General of the Agency, Lanre Onilu, made this known during a familiarisation visit to the Niger State directorate of NOA.
Onilu, while speaking with journalists, said nationalism is a subject that will be introduced in primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions in the country.
He also 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 the people.
The Direction General said 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.
He added that the agency will soon introduce 37,000 citizen brigades across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, so as to promote moral and national values at the primary school level.
