Barely a week after his appointment as Special Adviser on Youth Reformation, Dr. Nelson Omenugha has intensified efforts to advance Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s Youth Reformation Agenda, calling on stakeholders to work together in raising responsible, disciplined and value driven young people across Anambra State.
Speaking during the 8:00 a.m. edition of ABS Television’s Good Morning Anambra programme on Aug. 4, Dr. Omenugha discussed the theme, “Youth Reformation in Anambra: Raising Responsible Citizens for a Better Future,” highlighting the need to rebuild positive values, strengthen character, promote civic responsibility and instill a renewed sense of purpose among young people.
He said youth reformation remains a key pillar of the Soludo administration’s vision of building a safer, more productive and globally competitive Anambra, stressing that sustainable development can only be achieved when young people embrace discipline, integrity, hard work and responsible citizenship.
Dr. Omenugha identified the media as a critical partner in shaping public attitudes and promoting positive behavioural change, noting that through responsible reporting and value based programming, the media can inspire young people, celebrate exemplary conduct and encourage responsible decision making.
According to him, the success of the Youth Reformation Agenda depends on the collective commitment of families, schools, local government authorities, faith based organisations, traditional institutions, community leaders, the media and citizens working together to nurture a generation equipped with the right values and leadership qualities.
The special adviser commended the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) for providing a platform to engage the public on issues of youth development and social transformation, describing the discussion as timely and essential to the state’s development agenda.
He urged Ndi Anambra to watch the full interview and support ongoing efforts to build a generation of responsible, productive and patriotic youths who will contribute meaningfully to the continued growth and development of the state.
