Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday launched ‘Change Begins with Me’ national re-orientation campaign aimed at sanitizing the Nigerian society through citizens’ attitudinal change.

Urging Nigerians to shun corruption as a way to achieve a better nation, President Buhari challenged them to partake in the national re-orientation campaign through exhibition of the virtues of honesty and hard work in all their interactions.

He expressed optimism that with a consistent campaign and determination of the Nigerian public, the desired change would be achieved.

Vowing to eliminate rent seeking from the nation’s public service, Buhari told the gathering of top government officials, civil society organizations and private sector operators that he was not under any illusion that the needed change would happen overnight.

He urged Nigerians to always resist the temptation of doing things in the old ways so as to move the nation forward. “Indeed, I say to the glory of Almighty God, change begins with me,” he stated.
