The National Orientation Agency, NOA, has called on Nigerians to take active responsibility in addressing insecurity and promoting unity across the country.
The Director General of the Agency, Lanre Issa-Onilu, speaking on the renewed national security concerns, said citizens must stop being passive observers and instead support government efforts through vigilance, timely information sharing, and community cooperation.
He said: “Government cannot do it alone. Every Nigerian has a role to play in ensuring peace and security in their communities. We must act together to protect our nation and strengthen unity.”
The Agency also warned against divisive rhetoric and indifference, noting that such attitudes continue to worsen tensions in several parts of the country.
NOA further urged traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth groups, and civil society organisations to intensify sensitization efforts aimed at promoting peace, tolerance, and national cohesion.
It maintained that national unity remains a shared responsibility, stressing that collective action is key to building a safer and more stable Nigeria.
