Abuja – The House of Representatives yesterday called on the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to set up, without further delay, the War Against Indiscipline to be known as War Against Indiscipline ( WAl) brigade
Due to level of moral decadence in the society and the need to instill discipline among Nigerian people,
had necessitated the move by Hon. Ali Muhammad Wudil (Kano State) to move the motion on the floor of the House for the enactment of the WAl brigade
In his reflection, Wudil said that the National Orientation Agency (NOA) was established in 1993 to, amongst other things, to re-orient and encourage Nigerians to take active part in decisions affecting their lives as well as collective welfare.
He further explained that the reintroduction of the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) would require pre-emptive and pro-active approaches for success, hence the belief that the Establishment of WAI Brigade would be the appropriate machinery for instilling discipline in Nigerians.
” The functions of the Agency are establishment of social institutions and framework for deliberate exposure of Nigerians to democratic norms and values, and re-orient them to shed their general attitude of wattage, vanity and pretenses of affluence in their lifestyle “.
” The Minister of Information and Culture recently expressed the readiness of the Federal Government to reintroduce the policy of War Against Indiscipline (WAl) which will be a very welcome development, given the level of moral decadence in the society ”
With overwhelming support from his colleagues when the motion was put to vote, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara the Speaker of the House who presided over the plenary session, later mandated the Committees on Information, National Orientation Agency Ethics and Values, as well as Legislative Compliance to ensure compliance with this resolution.
