Our value system as a Nation is being
called to question. Ethics and values that once defined our society are no
longer held in high esteem. Consequently, our moral fabric is wearing thin,
leading to a society in which lack of regard for values thrives. Many of the
challenges confronting us today are a result of compounded degeneration over
the years.
A lot of the challenges confronting
us today stem from a national deterioration of values. As a result, Nigerians
are sometimes viewed with distrust and suspicion around the world, despite our
drive, work ethic and enterprise. It appears that the pursuit of individual
gain has become the primary focus over the common good; and success
increasingly measured by financial parameters, whilst we appear to be losing
the traditional values of contribution and dignity in labour which made
our country great in the past.
