The Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Sen. Adeleke Mamora has said that Nigeria needs a rebirth and rebuild of her institutions, as well as restoration of her national core values to provide lasting solutions to the challenges militating against her progress as a nation.
The minister said this today when he received a delegation from the Public Complaint Commission (PCC) in his office, in Abuja today (September 2, 2022).
Mamora stated that the strengthening of the nation’s institutions to compete with those of developed nations will lead to the emancipation of Nigeria from the shackles of her present socio-economic woes.
The minister further emphasised that strict implementation of the rule of law is one of the strongest pillars of any civilised and democratic society as it prevents impunity in any society.
He used the opportunity to call for the restoration of national core values as enshrined in the constitution. He further described this as the article of faith that binds the leadership of the nation and its citizens.
He noted that Nigeria of our dream cannot be achieved without our collaboration and collective efforts to make it a reality.
Earlier in a speech, the Commissioner of the Public Complaints Commission, Hon. Abimbola Ayo-Yussuf who was represented by the commission’s secretary, Mr. Philip Enyali said that the essence of the visit was to seek the support of the ministry in the forthcoming National Anti-corruption Marathon and the fourth edition of the National Youth and Students Summit on Anti-Corruption Sensitisation Campaign.
A statement by the ministry’s deputy director, press and public relations, Mr. Atuora Obed said the commissioner informed the minister of the PCC’s core mandate which includes initiating investigations on matters that border on any form of administrative injustice. It added that young people need to be carried along and be the primary focus in key developmental policies.
