Nigerian had been enjoined to accept and respect the National symbols that bind us together as a people.
The State Director of National Orientation Agency, Kano, Mallam Aliyu M. S. Yalwan—Danzial made this affirmation as Nigerian celebrates this year National Ordinance Day.
The Eagle online reports that National ordinance Day is celebrated every 16th September to promote the National symbols; emphasize their significance; highlight their importance and educate Nigerian on what should be our attitude to the symbols, especially as they are symbols of our unity and bound us together as one Nation.
The State Director said that it is not only disrespectful to treat our National Symbols with disrespect, it is also an offence. He therefore urged Nigerians to desist from writing on our currency and spraying the naira at parties and to endeavour to fly a clean and standard flag which is not sewn but printed.
These symbols include: the Nigeria flag, the National Anthem, the National Pledge, Coat of Arms, Constitution, the Nigerian currency, the Nigerian international Passport and the Nigerian National Identity Card.
