NOA, WEMA Bank Meet to Forge Youth-Focused Partnership

Abuja, – The National Orientation Agency (NOA) began preliminary meetings with WEMA Bank to strengthen national identity and promote attitudinal change through the National Identity Project, a campaign approved by the Federal Executive Council.

At a strategic meeting in Abuja, NOA Director General, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, highlighted the Agency’s renewed focus on structured value reorientation. He noted that past campaigns often overlooked government accountability, which the 7-for-7 National Values Charter now addresses by outlining seven promises from government and seven duties expected of citizens.

Onilu, stressed the importance of youth engagement, citing that 76% of Nigeria’s population are young people. He also announced the return of the 7-for-7 National Values Charter Campus Debate, following the success of its pilot edition last year. He emphasised the importance of corporate organisations supporting peace initiatives, noting that without a peaceful environment, they cannot thrive or operate effectively.

WEMA Bank’s representatives, Mr Chioma Onuaguluchi and Mr Timileyin, reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to youth empowerment and civic development, aligning with the vision of CEO Mr Moruf Oseni.

The collaboration aims to promote national cohesion, peace, and responsible citizenship, while offering mutual benefits for public and private sector growth.
