Yobe govt launches war against moral decadence, warns youth against vices

The Yobe government through the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Ethical Re-Orientation has launched an ethical reorientation campaign in the state.
Governor Mai Mala Buni on Wednesday, during the campaign launch said the initiative is timely, considering the decay and rot in moral values and the decadence in cultural and religious ethics in the society especially among the youth.
“The increasing consumption of illicit substances, especially drugs is quite worrisome and calls for immediate and strategic action to stem the growing tide to save our communities, state and country”, he said.
He said it has become expedient for all stakeholders including the government, traditional rulers, religious leaders, parents and guardians to join hands with the security agencies in the war against illicit substances and drugs.
The Governor ordered the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Ethical Reorientation to hold periodic meetings with stakeholders to assess the situation and strategies in the respective local government areas, and where necessary change the existing strategy to meet the existing challenges.
The ethical re-orientation campaign is tagged, “Operation Gyaran Hali”.
