In a bid to promote character education of our pupils and
students, Anambra State Town Unions Council, Youth Wing (ASTUC YOUTH) has
resolved to take Value Orientation Campaign to Schools in Anambra Communities.
President General, His Youthfulness Comrade Ken Okoli, moved the motion and
which was seconded by the Youth-Mayor of Idemili South, Comrade Ifeanyi Oriobu
during the Council’s monthly general meeting held on the 27th June 2026 at the
ASTUC Secretariat Hall Old Government House Awka.
According to Comr. Ken, "It is the belief of the leadership of ASTUC Youth
that Character Education of the students is key to raising a transformed
generation that will sustain the good works of the State Government under the
leadership of Mr Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo CFR.
"It was resolved that on Wednesdays and Thursdays that the leadership of
the Community Youths will pay a scheduled visit to the schools within the
community to orientate the students on the 12 Anambra Community Shared Values
that will raise a new generation of Ndi Anambra as the light of the nation,
using the I BELIEVE IN ANAMBRA book as a guide. The book was distributed to
members of the Council that were present at the meeting. The 12 Values are Fear
of God, Patriotism, Self-reliance, Discipline, Life, Truth, Liberty, Justice,
Community, Dignity of Labour, Religious & Ethnic Tolerance and Love."
"ASTUC Youth in 2023 published the book as a template for good governance,
value system and value orientation in Anambra State. The Anambra State
Traditional Rulers Council (ASTRC) and the Anambra State Town Unions Council
(ASTUC) adopted the book for value orientation of our youths in the communities
when the President General of ASTUC Youth presented the book to the ASTRC and
ASTUC in one of their general meetings."
The ASTUC Youth Boss further disclosed that "the importance of character
education of our young people in the schools cannot be over emphasized. Above
that we must raise among the teachers those who will be Value Orientation
Vanguards that will be molders and builders of a new generation of leaders that
will have Solution mindsets and not Agitation mindsets.
Also among the Youth Leaders we will raise those who will be Value Orientation
Vanguards that will serve as watchdogs over what happens in our various schools
in our communities with the aim of bringing solutions to them. We can not leave
this very important task in the hands of the government alone.
"It is our firm belief that Anambra Is ours and Anambra we serve,
therefore we must work in collaboration with the State Government via the
Ministries of Information & Value Reformation, the Ministry of Education
and the Ministry of Youth Development & Sports and the 21 Local Government
Councils in achieving this goal."
The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Political Matters, Hon Chinedu
Ofojebe was invited as a special guest in the meeting. He admonished the Youth
Leaders to remain agents of positive change and to mobilize the youths to
participate in the democratic process of the country by registering to vote
during elections.
Hon Ofojebe also encouraged the community youth leaders to continue to support
the State Government led by Mr Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo CFR, in
transforming Anambra State for common good. The meeting ended with the
induction of new members.
