The Transition Committee Chairman for Oyi Local Government Area, Mr Emmanuel Nweke has called on all hands to be on deck to reinvent those social values that sanitised the society during the olden days.
Mr Nweke stated this in his office at the council headquarters, Nteje, while interacting with ABS.
According to him, the days when elders see children going to school very late and inquired to know why by visiting the child’s parents just to put the child back on track were the best days, regretting that no one has such a time these days.
While regretting that environmental cleanliness as was carried out by communities before, where women were in charge of sweeping the streams, age grades in charge of clearing the road sides of bushes and dirts are no longer in practice these days.
Mr Nweke said until those values are restored, the society will continue to witness rascality in waste management across the state and stressed the need to instill cleanliness in children which he said they already started in Oyi council area.
He called on parents and guardians to go back to the days when children were guided on dressing, speech and comportment when in public among others in order to make the society a better place.
Mr Nweke noted that training a child should be a community affair rather than being seen as parents’ responsibility only .
The Oyi council boss commended Governor Soludo for the clean, green and liveable Anambra initiative, promising that they will work very hard to ensure that his visions for the state are achieved.
