Minsiter of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has pleaded with governors to support the “change begins with me” national reorientation campaign.

He made the appeal on Wednesday when he made a presentation to the Governors Forum which met at the Presidential Villa.

He urged the governors to give adequate airtime to the campaign on their state-owned radio and TV stations.

He said, “The campaign is aimed at achieving a paradigm shift in the way we do things and geared towards achieving an attitudinal change.

“With the total breakdown of our core values in the past years, it is imperative that we re-orientate ourselves with a view to restoring those time-tested values.

“Your Excellencies, it is important to note that this is a national campaign. It has no political, religious, or ethnic coloration.

“The breakdown in our time-tested values, the preference for imported goods, the poor attitude to work, the mindless corruption in our society, etc, are not limited to any part of the country, any political party, or any religion.

“We are of the strong belief that your cooperation is absolutely important if the campaign is to succeed.

“Hence, we have taken up this opportunity to formally unveil it to you and to seek your collaboration.”
