Nigerians have been implored to shun greed and ostentatious living in order to stop sending wrong signals to the youths at the expense of other core values that are developmental for the growth and development of Nigeria.
The Executive Chairman, Osun State Universal Basic Education Board, Hon. Ajibola Famurewa made this known while receiving the officials of Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC , Abuja, at the state SUBEB headquarters, Osogbo.
Hon. Famurewa while applauding the series of efforts being put in place by ICPC and other anti corruption Agencies of the Federal Government to fight corruption also admonished on the need for all Nigerians at home and diaspora to deemphasize the craze to get wealth at all cost syndrome which has done Nigeria more harm than good.
The SUBEB Chairman who expressed delight for the visit of the ICPC officials to Osun, described the administration of Mr Adegboyega Oyetola of having a zero tolerance for corruption in all its entirety.
Famurewa particularly bemoaned and condemned the rate at which the Nigerian youths are always in a rat race to amass wealth through crude means like internet frauds and other untoward acts ,which according to him cast aspersions on the corporate image of the country.
The SUBEB Chairman who also praised President Muhammadu Buharis war against graft in Nigeria, enjoined parents and guardians to always demonstrate virtues that are worthy of emulation by the youths.
Also speaking, Commissioner for Services , Osun SUBEB, Hon. Amos Akindiya, appreciated the team of ICPC officials to Osun led by Mr Muhammad Ashir Baba, who had earlier delivered a thought provoking " mini lecture" for the Osun SUBEB officials .Hon. Akindiya stressed that the lecture though brief, will no doubt go a long way in helping teachers to start teaching and inculcating the act of discipline in school children especially at the basic levels .
Akindiya recalled that a country that can boast of a well disciplined and vibrant youths would automatically have everything going smoothly for it as a nation.
He expressed strong optimism on the present and future generations of the Nigerian youths if necessary modalities are put in place for them to emulate.
