Sir Chuka Nnabuife, the Managing Director of the newly created Anambra Civic and Social Reformation Office (ANCISRO), has received a pledge of full support from the Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, in efforts to address critical social issues in the state.
Dr. Mefor assured Nnabuife and
his team who paid him a courtesy in his office at the Jerome Udoji Secretariat
Complex in Awka that the ministry would actively collaborate with ANCISRO to
promote positive behavior change, with a specific focus on combating drug abuse
and fostering moral reformation across the state.
The Commissioner expressed his
enthusiasm and strong support for ANCISRO’s mission, emphasizing his personal
and professional dedication to behavior modification. As a psychologist, he
underscored his deep commitment to tackling social vices such as drug abuse,
anti-cultism, and internet fraud (Yahoo Plus), which he identified as significant
threats to the future of Anambra and the nation. He highlighted the urgency of
addressing these issues to safeguard the moral fabric and progress of society.
Highlighting the urgent need for moral rearmament, Dr. Mefor stated, "You’ve addressed the importance of Anambra values. If Igboland were a train, Anambra would be the lead coach, guiding the others forward. To achieve success in Igboland, we must first set Anambra right. Our actions here are closely observed and emulated by others, as Anambra is viewed as a benchmark and model for progress across the region."
He further pledged to provide
ANCISRO with expert assistance in developing impactful public communication and
awareness campaigns. "The Nigeria Psychological Association is fully
prepared to lend its expertise, creating programs that will establish ANCISRO as a household name within just a few months," Dr. Mefor emphasized.
In response, Sir Nnabuife
articulated that the purpose of the visit was to familiarize the commissioner
with the agency's objectives, which focus on promoting the core values of
Anambra State and encouraging civic responsibility. He noted that a collaborative
effort is vital for fostering a vibrant and inclusive society in Anambra.
He emphasized that the
"Solution Agenda" for the state aims to cultivate a clean,
law-abiding, and progressive Anambra, where citizens are actively engaged in
governance by fulfilling their tax obligations and supporting essential sectors
such as education, healthcare, and community development.
