Mr. Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, who disclosed this to newsmen after Monday’s Federal Executive Council meeting at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, said the gradual erosion of good morals and values among the youth, leading to various forms of misconduct, has raised concerns recently;
therefore, this brigade is designed to instill a new culture of values the country can be proud of.
The federal government also mandated the introduction of a national value charter into basic and post-basic school curricula, which includes standardising national symbols.
Mr. Idris explained that the new syllabus would form key aspects of the topics to be taught in civic education and will be adopted by government appointees upon assumption of duty.
Meanwhile, Professor Tahir Mamman, the Minister of Education, has announced that the new curricula for schools will take effect in October 2024.
He also informed that the FEC approved a contract for the construction of a new senate building for the University of Ibadan and the cost associated with conducting examinations by the National Examinations Council.
