PRESIDENT BUHARI LAUNCHES NATIONAL RE-ORIENTATION CAMPAIGN ‘CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME

Speaking at the occasion, the President said the campaign is all about the need for us to see change not merely in terms of our economic, social progress but in terms of our personal behaviour on how we 
conduct ourselves, engage our neigbhours, friends and generally how we relate with the larger society in a positive and definitive way and manner that promotes our common good and common destiny, change at 
home, change in the work place, change at traffic junction, change at traffic lights etc.

”I am therefore appealing to all Nigerians to be part of this 
campaign. Our citizens must realize that the change they want to see begins with them, and that personal and social reforms are not 
theoretic exercise. If you have not seen the change in you, you cannot see it in others or even the larger society. In other words, before you ask ‘where is the change they promised us’, you must first ask how 
far have I changed my ways ‘what have I done to be part of the change for the greater good of society,” he said.

For his part, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai 
Mohammed, said the CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME is a Pan Nigeria Campaign that has no coloration whatsoever – whether it is political, religious or ethnic. It is a campaign for all Nigerians, with the sole 
objective of achieving a paradigm shift in the way we do things.

”The campaign’s principle is simple: Each one of us must be the 
change we want to see in our society! Therefore, we will expect all the states of the Federation to partner with us, especially through 
the provision of air time on their radio and television stations. This 
way we can reach every Nigerian.

‎”In addition to being multi-media, the campaign will be carried out 
in all the major Nigerian languages, will leverage heavily on the social media and will be largely youth-driven,” the Minister said
