..Of the greatest Nigerian Students!!!.........Great O!!!
I hope to check the latest from these schools as far as I can. For now let’s all get praying for a total end to this ASUU strike.
WHATZ UP ABOUT ASUU STRIKE?
The National Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Dr. Awuzie voiced last week that the government is yet to sit with the body at the negotiation table he noted that they have refused the 40% raise offered by the government and stating emphatically that they still await a formal negotiation.
REBRANDING?
Yes! You all must have heard about the ‘REBRANDING CAMPAIGN’ It has really generated a lot of noise, criticisms and much attention ever since it was spear headed and launched by the Hon. Minister for Communication Prof. Dora Akunyili.I am not against the whole campaign, but I believe we need to walk the Walk in so much way as we talk the Talk. What do you feel about this?
I wrote an article few months ago on this issue, I expect your comments.
Enjoy!
Rebranding the Nigerian Police Force
It is a known fact that the Nigerian Police force has evolved over the years, yet it has since suffered from various image rupturing ills. This is obvious as the police seem to be the major institution which mirrors the corruption syndrome which permeates our country, whereas the problem of corruption is not only particular to the Police but it’s rife across the various strata of our society.
The saying ‘one bad egg spoils the rest’ best describes the case of the Nigerian Police. Incessant collection of bribe and kickbacks at different checkpoints across the country, illegal dealings in ammunition and other various ills and demeaning acts of misconduct across the ranks and files of the force has long robbed the Nigerian Police of her dignity and nobility unlike their other counterparts in other advanced countries of the world.
The dire need to redeem the image of Nigerian Police could not have come at a better time than this, when corruption and all other criminal acts are perpetrated in diverse forms in the nooks and crannies of the Country, a time when university graduates are churned out by the thousands and none or very few see the need to serve the fatherland by enlisting in the Nigeria Police. A total rebranding and general overhauling of this mercenary is of significant importance.
This rebranding must however start from the average Nigerian youth. This is an issue of re-orientation of values and the prioritization of the Nigerian interest. It is a duty for which all hands must be on deck. Educational institution should see the need that the interest of the country be inculcated in the students, while religious institution should uphold values of service and loyalty to one’s country, and all stakeholders and particularly the Nigerian Police should channel needed resources to seminars and conferences targeted towards rebranding the force while adequate measures be put in place to ensure that recruitment is based on standard ethics ,thus disproving the fact that the force is a dumping ground for the unemployed, miscreants and never-do-well citizens.
Changing the image of the Nigerian Police, will to a very great extent restore professional dimension to the job and instill discipline and respect to the Force and this will bring us very close to the threshold of the new Nigeria that we all dream of.
