A non-profit organization, Nation of Justice (NOJ), has concluded a two-day sensitisation programme for students of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), combining civic education with welfare support for undergraduates.
Speaking at the event on Wednesday, the founder of NOJ, Jyde Adelakun, urged students to uphold social justice and embrace civic responsibility as essential tools for building a society anchored on equality and fairness.
“True freedom does not mean the absence of responsibility. True freedom means the courage to act rightly, the discipline to obey the law, and the sacrifice to serve the common good,” he said.
Citing constitutional provisions, Adelakun reminded the students that every Nigerian has a duty to respect the Constitution, promote national interests, and support lawful authorities in maintaining order. Specifically referencing Sections 23 and 24 of the Constitution, he stressed that national ethics—such as discipline, integrity, dignity of labor, social justice, and patriotism—must move beyond rhetoric and be reflected in daily conduct.
“Justice is not delayed until it loses meaning. Justice is the condition of freedom under the rule of law—where rights are protected, duties are enforced, and power is held accountable,” he added, challenging the youth not to consider themselves too young to shape Nigeria’s future.
Abuja Metro reports that each beneficiary received 3.5kg of either garri, beans, or rice, along with sachets of cornflakes, milk, vegetable oil, and instant noodles. Notebooks and pens were also distributed to support their academic activities.
Several beneficiaries described the gesture as timely.
