Abuja, Nigeria — The Foundation for Ethical Society & Cultural Awareness (FESCA) has formally been introduced to the Nigerian public as a new non-profit organization dedicated to promoting ethical transformation and cultural renewal across the country.

FESCA is a non-political, non-partisan, non-sectarian, non-tribal, and non-religious organization committed to advancing integrity, civic responsibility, and strong ethical values in Nigerian society.

The foundation is built on the conviction that many of Nigeria’s challenges stem from a deep-rooted societal and cultural crisis, rather than solely a leadership problem. According to FESCA, leadership emerges from the society itself; therefore, meaningful national transformation must begin with a change in the ethical orientation and conduct of citizens.

FESCA seeks to promote a bottom-up approach to national renewal, encouraging Nigerians at every level of society to embrace integrity, patriotism, accountability, and responsible citizenship in their daily lives.

As part of its core initiatives, the organization plans to establish Integrity and Ethical Brigades across institutions throughout Nigeria. These brigades will focus primarily on recruiting and training young Nigerians to serve as ambassadors of ethical values and responsible citizenship in their communities and institutions.

The foundation will also conduct nationwide public awareness campaigns through television dramas, movies, radio jingles, documentaries, newspaper publications, books, and community outreach programs designed to promote cultural change and strengthen ethical consciousness among citizens.

In addition, FESCA intends to collaborate with civil society organizations, educational institutions, market associations, community leaders, and security agencies to promote ethical training and civic responsibility across the country.

The organization emphasized that the transformation of Nigeria requires collective responsibility from all citizens, including ordinary workers, traders, professionals, public officials, and political leaders.

“Too often, Nigerians place the blame for the country’s challenges solely on political leaders,” the foundation stated. “However, lasting change will occur only when every citizen accepts personal responsibility for doing what is right for Nigeria.”

FESCA acknowledged that changing a nation’s culture is a long-term undertaking but expressed confidence that sustained engagement, public education, and national participation can lead to meaningful transformation.

The foundation therefore, calls on Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, the media, civil society organizations, and all friends of Nigeria to support this movement for ethical and cultural renewal.

The Foundation for Ethical Society and Cultural Awareness (FESCA) has declared that Nigeria’s persistent socio-economic and governance challenges stem largely from a deep-rooted ethical and cultural crisis within society rather than solely from poor political leadership.

The organisation made the assertion yesterday in Abuja while formally announcing its launch as a non-profit platform dedicated to promoting ethical transformation and cultural renewal across the country.

According to the foundation, lasting national development will remain elusive unless Nigerians collectively embrace integrity, civic responsibility, patriotism, and accountability in their daily conduct.

The statement announcing the initiative was jointly signed by the foundation’s President, Nosa Osaikhuiwu, and its General Secretary, Prince Ewemade Konkons.

The group stressed that leadership emerges from the society itself and therefore cannot be isolated from the ethical orientation of citizens.

FESCA described itself as a non-political, non-partisan, non-sectarian, non-tribal and non-religious organisation committed to strengthening ethical values and responsible citizenship in Nigeria.

The foundation said it would pursue a bottom-up strategy aimed at reawakening moral consciousness across communities, institutions and professional groups nationwide.

As part of its programmes, FESCA disclosed plans to establish Integrity and Ethical Brigades in schools, organisations and communities across the country to recruit and train young Nigerians as ambassadors of ethical values.

The organisation said the initiative would equip participants with the knowledge and tools required to promote responsible conduct and integrity within their institutions and local communities.

In addition, the group said it would embark on nationwide public awareness campaigns through television dramas, radio jingles, documentaries, films, newspaper publications, and books designed to stimulate cultural reorientation and strengthen ethical consciousness among Nigerians.

FESCA also announced plans to collaborate with civil society organisations, educational institutions, market associations, community leaders, and security agencies in promoting ethical training and civic responsibility.

The foundation emphasised that national transformation cannot be achieved by the government alone but requires the participation of all segments of society, including workers, traders, professionals, public officials, and political leaders.

Part of the statement read, “Too often, Nigerians place the blame for the country’s challenges solely on political leaders.

“However, lasting change will occur only when every citizen accepts personal responsibility for doing what is right for Nigeria.”
