Nigeria @64: Ethics, morals, key to positive economic growth -Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has said that ethical and morally upright society were essential for attracting investors and promotion of economic development.

Shettima, who was represented by Bashir  Maidugu, Senior Special Assistance  to the President on Legal and Compliance Matters,  Office of the Vice President, said this at a Webinar tagged: “Let’s Talk Ethics’’ on Tuesday in Abuja.

The theme of the Webinar is:“Community Engagement for Ethical Transformation, Leadership and Integrity.”

It was convened by Civil Society for Ethics and Values Development Initiative (CSEVDI) to mark the Independence Day anniversary.

According to Shettima, the call was imperative because a nation’s morals are like the teeth, the more decayed they are, the more it hurts to touch them.

He said that President Bola Tinubu had a lot of agenda for the growth of the nation.

He said that the Renewed Hope Agenda of the current government could not be an effective transformative policy without a sincere ethical transformation, authentic leadership and uncompromising integrity at all levels.

He added that Nigeria was in dire need of a reorientation, a repositioning of Nigeria and Nigerians with respect to the values they should hold dear in order for the nation to be where it ought to be.

Mr Tajudeen Toyin-Oke, the Secretary-General of Civil Society of the Initiative, said the organisation had been working to make Nigeria an ethical compliant society to restore the country to its lost glory. (NAN)
