The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has called for a revival of the nation’s values and norms as part of efforts to rid the country of vices which have led to acts of terrorism and insecurity.

established by the National Orientation Agency, Senator Ekweremadu in his address hinted that Nigeria could be transformed by Nigerians with the right attitude and values.
At the event that attracted participants from other paramilitary agencies, Senator Ekweremadu urged members of the brigade to assist security agencies in tackling crime and other social vices, adding that the nation would no longer allow her value systems to be eroded by a few Nigerians with external influences.
