Daniel Kanu Calls for Values to Solve Nigeria's Issues

Prince Daniel Kanu, the Chairman of the New Deal Organization, has stated that Nigeria's persistent challenges are rooted in a failure of good values and principles within society. In his Independence Day message, Kanu criticized the reliance on politics and strikes for solutions, urging Nigerians to take personal responsibility for rebuilding the nation.

He praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s address on the 66th anniversary of Nigeria's independence as sincere and progressive, calling for support for legitimate institutions and leadership. Kanu expressed concern over a three-day warning strike by the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council, suggesting that those within the system should not resort to strikes to address systemic issues.

He highlighted the importance of values such as integrity, honesty, and accountability in fostering national development, asserting that Nigeria's abundant resources are insufficient without responsible citizens. Kanu encouraged Nigerians to prioritize national interest over ethnic and political divisions.
