Staff of the Rivers State Directorate of the National Orientation Agency, NOA, have been enjoined to remain steadfast to the ideals of the agency and be committed to the performance of their duty.
South South Zonal Director of NOA, Mr. Ibor Otu, who gave the charge during an interactive session with the agency staff in Port Harcourt, said the Director General of NOA, Mallam Lanre Isa-Oniru, created new directorates in the agency to facilitate staff promotion, and has also provided funding for its programmes.
He said, “The present DG of the National Orientation Agency is the answer to most of our union agitations. Before now, we use to have just one deputy director, but today, you can have as many as ten deputy directors in one state, so I urge them to put in their best so that essence of the creation of the agency, which is public awareness and enlightenment, education will be achieved”.
On the creation of six new Zonal Directorates for the agency, Mr. Otu explained that the move is geared towards decentralising the activities of NOA, to ensure effective leadership, in order to make its programmes more impactful throughout the country.

“Everything before now had to be from the state to Abuja, you know that Abuja cannot do it all alone, is a creation of the current Director General of NOA to decongest this process so that effective leadership would be carried out well that is why the zones were created to get the leadership more to the state” he noted
Mr. Otu further assured the staff that funding for programmes of the NOA would be improved upon.
The South South Zone of the National Orientation Agency comprises Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers state.
