_Commissioner hints at proposed law to enforce ethical standards,
ANAMBRA State Government’s value reformation campaign is gathering momentum, with renewed emphasis on public enlightenment, moral reorientation, civic engagement and the enforcement of laws to promote positive social values.
The State Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Dr Law Mefor, has disclosed that a proposed Value Reformation Law is in the pipeline at the Anambra State House of Assembly. The legislation, when enacted, will provide for sanctions against conduct that undermines the ethical and moral values the state seeks to promote.
Dr Mefor made this known during the maiden edition of Malumebe, a radio programme adopted by the Ministry of Information and Value Reformation and broadcast across the state through a network of radio stations.
Featuring on the programme on Wednesday, 28 October, the Commissioner explained that the proposed law would incorporate a strong enforcement mechanism, alongside incentives to recognise and encourage citizens and residents who uphold positive values.
He noted that the initiative reflects Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s determination to raise ethical and moral standards across Anambra State.
According to him, the Governor’s recent expansion of the Ministry’s mandate to include Value Reformation underscores his commitment to driving positive behavioural change and promoting higher standards of public conduct among Ndi Anambra.
Dr Mefor stressed that the proposed policy would be inclusive, requiring the participation of all segments of society while providing appropriate deterrents against actions that run contrary to the state’s desired values.
MALUMEBE: PLATFORM FOR COLLECTIVE SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION*
The broadcast, centred on the theme ‘Value Reformation and Ndi Anambra’, underscored the Anambra State Government’s position that rebuilding societal values requires collective responsibility, institutional commitment and sustained public engagement.
Malumebe is a live weekly radio programme packaged by the Ministry of Information and Value Reformation to stimulate public discourse on contemporary issues affecting the moral, social and civic life of Anambra State.
It airs every Wednesday from 11.00 am to 11.50 am on ABS 88.5 FM and Kpakpando 101.9 FM.
Featuring interactive studio discussions and public phone-in segments, the programme provides a platform for government officials, professionals, community leaders and members of the public to exchange ideas on building a more disciplined, responsible and value-driven Anambra.
Its central message is that sustainable social transformation cannot be achieved by government alone; it requires the active participation and commitment of Ndi Anambra at every level of society.
