  • NIM seeks standards in schools

    The President/Chairman of Council, Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM) Dr. Nelson Uwaga has urged the government to design a national curriculum from basic to tertiary level where students are taught ethical behaviour.

    He stressed the importance of the national curriculum which, according to him, should be be based on honesty, good work ethics, respect for others, display of national consciousness, accountability, equity, fair play, good time management and good neighbourliness, among others.

    Uwaga also said there is need to cultivate strong orientation in youths from the grassroots to find solution to the problems in the country.

    “The development of the country in all sectors has been badly affected by unethical practices, greed and unpleasant life styles, which have smeared the country’s image internationally. This is also a source of worry for most Nigerians.

    “Change can only evolve through people of the right mindset, education and proper orientation to redirect events that would re-shape the country. By doing this, there is need to cultivate strong cultural and ethical orientation in the youths from the grass root,” he added.

    He further noted that a clear display of the code of behaviour should be rewarded in schools at the end of the year while those caught violating the code should be ‘reprimanded in the open’.
