State, yesterday, advocated attitudinal change among Nigerians as well as
the entrenchment of strong core values to bring about national growth.
They maintained that no nation could develop without keeping to strong
moral values.
Speaking at the 10th memorial anniversary of the late Justice Peter Odo
Effiong Bassey, at the University of Calabar International Conference
Centre, Osinbajo said no nation could attain greatness without strict moral
behaviour
Delivering a lecture entitled: Social Virtues in the Nigerian Renaissance,
the vice president disclosed: “The success story of Western civilization is
based on ethics and hard work which culminates in high productivity when
you do the right type of work.
“You must have the capacity to work hard and produce a goal as no society
in the world can excel without adopting the principles of hard work because
in developed world, one is paid according to input and man hour in the
office. We should justify our pay to justify our time value for money as
well as imbibe the right ways of doing things.”
He stressed the need for the principle of integrity and trustworthiness,
which he noted, was the bedrock of the credit system all over the world.
On rule of law, Osinbajo noted that consequence should be allowed to take
its course as social justice was critical while opportunities should be
made available for all to have access to education and healthcare services.
In his remarks, Governor Ayade said: “Decadence in society is due to lack
of morality. Morality is the exact fabric that drives the future of a
country.”
He enjoined those in attendance, especially students of the Faculty of Law,
University of Calabar, to reflect on the topic of the lecture and see how
they could make their contributions to uplift the country.
Former Cross River State governor, Mr. Donald Duke and one time Minister of
Education Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, in their separate presentations urged a
rethink for the nation to attain its pride of place.
