The Yobe State Directorate of the National Orientation Agency (NOA) on Tuesday commemorated the National Day with a call for respect and dignity toward Nigeria’s cherished national symbols.
Alhaji Muhammed Tikau, Acting State Director of NOA, made the call in Damaturu while addressing staff of the directorate as part of the commemoration activities.
He highlighted the importance of symbols such as the National Flag, Coat of Arms, National Anthem, the Pledge, National Identification Number (NIN), Nigerian Passport, and currency notes in fostering patriotism, unity, and national consciousness.
Tikau described the symbols as sacred representations of Nigeria’s independence, freedom, and shared destiny, urging Nigerians to treat them with honour.
