Mrs Ijeoma Agbanusi, Director, National Orientation Agency, FCT Directorate has called on Nigerians of the older generation to show good examples to the Gen-Zs by always doing the right thing.
Agbanusi made the call during a ‘Road Show’ organised to sensitised Abuja residents on Thursday in Abuja.
News Agency of Nigeria reports that the ‘Road Show’ took participants from FCDA in Garki Area 11 to Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation in Federal Secreatariate.
According to Agbanusi, the ‘Road Show’ signifies the end of the campaign on World HIV/AIDS Day, World Human Rights Day, Discouraging Get Rich Quick Syndrome, Security Consciousness and Tax Reform bill.
“We started with Media Conference, then Stakeholders engagement/town hall meeting and today, we concluded with a ‘Road Road’.
“The get rich quick syndrome is not associated with Gen-Zs alone. The olders ones passed it to them. These children learn very fast. The syndrome is also associated with the elderly, middle age and the younger ones.
“There are people that made their wealth in an unrighteous way and continue to flaunt the riches on the faces of many people. We hail these people and even give them VIP treatments. We don’t question their sources of wealth.
“And is unfortunate that the Gen-Zs learn from such kind of life and will want to emulate it. If the older generation got it right, the younger ones will not have gone wrong,”she said.
“We, the elders should live by example. If you are occupying a position of power or leadership, you should not be individualistic and selfish. It should not be about you alone.
“Let the elder generation change their thinking. They should know that there is joy in dignity of labour. By so doing, it will positively affect the young ones,” she said.
