The Director-General of the National Orientation Agency, Lanre Issa-Onilu, has introduced five new nationwide educational initiatives focusing on government policies, national values, security awareness, disaster preparedness, and national identity.
The five focal areas for the initiatives encompass public awareness regarding government policies, programs, and activities; flood mitigation and disaster readiness; national security consciousness; reorientation of national values for students against extreme exit practices; and the Nigerian identity project alongside the national symbols initiative.
During a press conference to announce the initiatives in Abuja on Wednesday, the DG elaborated that the “intensive” campaigns will be conducted throughout the country over the ensuing two weeks.
He further stated that all 4,000 personnel of the NOA, spanning its 818 office locations across the 774 local government areas of the Federation, will participate in the campaigns, which are set to commence on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, and will run for the following 15 days.

“Nigeria stands at a defining moment. Our democracy thrives only when citizens are informed and actively engaged. Our communities are safer when citizens are alert and cooperative. Our youth flourish when guided by the right values. Our heritage endures when we uphold our symbols and identity. Our lives and livelihoods are preserved when we prepare ahead of natural disasters,” he said.
The Director-General indicated that the initiatives will encompass press conferences conducted in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as grassroots engagement in markets, educational institutions, transportation hubs, places of worship, and community centers across all 774 Local Government Areas.
He further noted that the organization will disseminate materials in English and prominent Nigerian languages, alongside radio, television, and social media campaigns to be executed daily “to connect with Nigerians wherever they may be.”
Issa-Onilu encouraged Nigerians to participate in the initiative and to seek information from reliable sources, while appealing to the media, traditional and religious leaders, civil society organizations, student groups, and other stakeholders to collaborate with the National Orientation Agency in mobilizing for the campaigns.
“This campaign will only thrive if our media allies, such as yourselves, remain actively involved. Therefore, we urge you to assist us and support Nigerians, of whom you are a part, to ensure we all endorse this initiative and utilize our platforms to communicate our messages to our audiences,” the Director-General articulated.
