NOTE

NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND NATIONAL IDENTITY

The Federal government in the past years made series of efforts aimed at maintaining peace and progress in the society. Some of these efforts led to the establishment of the Federal government institutions to promote national unity. The following can be considered in the light of this development.

  1. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)was established in 1973 to enable fresh graduates to serve in other states of the Federation. In the process of this service, they will be able to come in contact with people and culture different from their own. This is to promote National Unity.
  2. Unity schools were established throughout all the geo-political zones in the country. This is to present an opportunity for students of other ethnic groups to be admitted into these unity schools, Student can be admitted into any part of the country. This is to promote National Unity.
  3. Federal character principle was entrenched in the constitution in which all ethnic groups would be represented in all our National life. Such as the appointment into Federal Civil Service, Ministerial appointment, recruitment of players into our National team. All these are aimed at promoting National Unity. Criteria to be fulfilled by political parties are such that reflect federal character before they can be registered.
