“As a leader, you are bound to meet challenges and huddles, but with responsible disposition of good character and prayers, you will overcome much challenges,” he said.
Kokoriko stated that LCCN had laid emphasis on character moulding in the schools and sports but regretted that some teachers in the schools did not have much to give to the students in terms of responsible character, noting that some teachers had been known to be members of cult groups.
He appealed to the society to view character moulding as everybody’s business and urged the youths to always respect elders in their dealings.
The LCCN’s boss presented a plaque and an official letter to Dr. Paul-Worika appointing him as a Patron of the Club.
In his response, the PCC boss, Dr. Alpheaus Paul-Worika commended the Character Club for the honour done him.
“It is a privilege to be nominated for an award and making me a patron in a club where the former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is a Grand patron.
I feel honoured. The honour is a rare gift to one. Your honour indicates that the little we are doing here, the impact is being felt. We shall continue to do our best and also support you within the limit of our resources.”
He commended LCCN for its effort in moulding good and responsible character among the youths in Nigeria, stressing that inculcating good character was vital to the nation in view of the level of greed exhibited by some persons.
rents and teachers to redouble their efforts in training youths to be of good behavior, stressing that the family and schools have a strong role to play in the moral upbringing of the young ones in our society.”
He noted that PCC as the ombudsman in the society was created to ensure that everyone was given fair treatment and charged people whose rights and privileges had been infringed upon to visit the commission for redress instead of taking laws into their hands.
