Mrs. Sarah Jibril, the Special Adviser to the President on Ethics and Values said on Sunday in Abuja that her office had proposed a bill on national ethics and values.<\/p>\n
She told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the bill would, hopefully, change the attitude of Nigerians positively.<\/p>\n
Jibril said that the bill could also lead to the establishment of a Ministry of National Ethics and create a stronger foundation for the building of good ethics and sound moral values.<\/p>\n
She noted that the establishment of the ministry would also promote integrity that would transform the image of the country positively.<\/p>\n
Jibril added that the ministry would also enhance the standard of living of people in the communities and ensure that they got the best of social services.<\/p>\n
“ We are working with the National Assembly; we are working with the Presidency to bring it up as soon as possible, so that everybody knows the level to which you can even talk of immunity.<\/p>\n
“Nobody is immune to go and hire thugs or raise killers. And even the legislators. I am glad that the Senate is taking the mature side of this issue of immunity.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Jibril told NAN that by the time the laws had been put in place, it would be unlawful to raise thugs or assassins.<\/p>\n
She said: “whoever raises or encourages thugs or other criminals would be breaching the law and the social sanity of the country and such person should be made to face the law.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
She also told NAN that there was the need for state governors and chairmen of local government councils to replicate the office of Special Adviser on Ethics and Values as done at the federal level to promote social lives in communities.<\/p>\n
She advised parents to ensure that their children were well-trained in ethics and values to help to convey the message on ethics faster in the country.\u00a0 (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
